I find PETA a misguided and bordering-on-psycho group, but from reading the article I got the impression that the animals they took were going to get "gassed or shot" anyway, which would have indeed been worse.
Don't get me wrong. I am a cat lover. Putting my cat Oreo to sleep a few months ago was the hardest thing I'd ever done. I held him as he died and sobbed in the office for a good half hour, and then I embarrassed myself today when I brought my new cat to the vet for a little checkup and started crying remembering when I took Oreo there for the last time. And I'm crying right now thinking about it.
I'd only be upset if the shelters they took the animals from would have found homes for them, and so the injections were needless.
