It’s not 90% and it’s higher than others because PETA takes in all animals, unconditionally.
If they acted the same as everyone else you would have more animals suffering. Euthanasia isn’t great, but it’s the better alternative to leaving a near death animal on the side of the road to bleed out because no shelter will take them on.
At least in 2006-2007 it was 97% of companion animals, and we only know this because the courts asked for these internal documents:
Death toll up to 17,400; overdue report describes PETA’s deadliest year ever
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ – An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency’s deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it’s perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.
Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 “companion animals” in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.
That also does not include the animals that PETA handed off to other shelters which may have also been euthanized.
As for the two decades old discovery documents, you’d probably have to contact the court directly for those because they don’t seem to be listed online.
You don’t need a profit incentive to have an agenda.
True, they probably have some hideous ulterior motive like reducing animal cruelty. Fucking jerks, why can’t they just want money?
PETA might reduce animal cruelty, by killing more than 90% of the animals they can get their hands on every year.

Can you please link to whatever study this has come from as all I can find on Google is 2 mentions from old forum posts from 2007.
It literally has the citation in the text
So link it - because it’s not coming up when I searched for it, as I have shown already.
