Yes, apparently they kill rescue animals in their shelters if nobody wants to adopt them because cause they are sick, dying or just unwanted. I am not quite sure if its justified or not, but they argue that its better for them to be killed than to spend a life in a cage, decreasing resources available to support the rehousing of other animals.
What is the alternative? You could put them out on the street, but if they can live well on the street then one would not expect them to be found ill on the street in the first place which led to them being taken in by an animal shelter. At least a lethal injection of anaesthetic is pain free. Much better to advocate reducing the number of animals bred and responsible care of pets, which is exactly what peta do.
