Kitsu, while there are many, many truths in what you say, there is just one major problem.
PETA believes in the total liberation and freedom of animals - there is no changing this message. They don't want people to abuse, use for entertainment, confine to shelter, use for guide dogs (!) or allow anybody to keep them as a pet. This would also indicate that they totally disagree with a person, or an organisation, in the act of putting an animal down. Because it cannot tell us that it wants it.
I understand that ethically animals at times have to be put down. But the percentage of animals PETA put down is tremendously outweighing their actual purpose of resheltering (which in itself is a completely ironic thing for the organisation to do) through adoption.
It's a totally viable, and vital argument to point out how fucking backwards these guys are. On top of that, the other points that can be easily driven home are that they fund radical extremists with charitable money. But then they also fund this fucking game, so we already know they have no idea how to handle the public's money.
