Would you call your vet. a "slaughterhouse" because of all the animals he euthanizes?
Before I get flamed too much I will quote myself:

The reason we give PETA shit for euthanizing is that they're PETA. They claim it's the equivalent of nailing Christ to the cross to kill any living thing, and a crime to even treat an animal poorly... yet they euthanize animals because they're running out of room to keep them. It's the hypocrisy, not the act itself.
