PETA definitely takes it too f-ing far and perhaps does more harm than good. The idea that animals we hold, eat, and use for whatever purpose - the idea that they should be treated with some - *some* measure of decency and respect for their suffering - I personally am all for that. Go check out the PETA hidden videos if you want to see the extent of the suffering and disgusting conditions your food goes through before it gets to your mouth. And it's not just the awfulness of it all for the animals but the putrid shit-laden condition that factory farm animals wallow in. It's disgusting for them, for us (because we ingest them), and for the environment (because we live in it too).

Reasons like overpopulation, disease, old age, extremely bad temperment, etc. The article does not address this, so I have no reason to assume differently. Would you call your vet. a "slaughterhouse" because of all the animals he euthanizes?
Before I get flamed too much I will quote myself:
