they euthanize a majority of animals that come in their shelters. like 99%
That part is not the problem. They euthanize animals because there is no one who can or will pay for their care. No kill shelters can exist because the vast majority of old, sick, and expensive animals go to shelters like PETA.
Everything else they do that you outlined is fucked up and I dislike PETA, but euthanizing animals is a necessary evil and we are lucky someone has the compassion to do it.
There is also some instances where they took pets and euthanized them onto the day. I read about one instance where they had been invited to capture semi feral cats. They had spoken with a family but came back later and tried to lure their dog onto public properly which failed so they went onto their porch to grab it. It was euthanized the same day.
I think they also tried to see if the family could be illegals when they sued.
They reportedly ignore collars and tags on animals and euthanize as fast as they can despite legal waiting periods.
Aside from that they also sued David Slater for the monkey selfie....
Both examples are ones I have read about the legal proceedings but since I don't live in the US it is all just things people described. Both did re-homing so probably true but it comes down to them not believing in humans having pets.
I am sure it makes sense from their point of view.

They spread misinformation, use fear-mongering tactics, have assaulted people etc.
