I regret that I failed to make this distinction with my initial post.
I mentioned open admission shelters euthanizing. No kill organizations, rescues, shelters and facilities will also euthanize. All facilities will have this come about. I mentioned open admission merely because the PETA facility is described as an open admission animal shelter.
The difference is vast and I would like to explain why this issue gets those of us who are actively involved in animal welfare upset.
Euthanasia - The ending of a life due to several behavioral issues that are not correctable via training. The ending of life due to severe health issues such as injury or terminal illness.
Killing - To put to death healthy animals.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of facilities that network to place animals. Even if they are a kill facility, they will work to reach out to contacts to help get the animals out rather than euthanize. The links provided by PHChristy outline this quite well.
