Compassion, obviously, knows no bounds...
Probably was because they ran out of money, and could not afford to maintain the large numbers of “liberated” animals they supposedly released from their former savage owners.
Then PETA in turn treated the animals in only slightly less savage manner.
By killing them.
Aren’t they afraid the animals will revolt, and imprison THEM? Or don’t they believe in “moral equivalency”?
How could they run out of money with a $37 million dollar annual budget? They could buy a lot of kibble and cat litter with that much money!
