61. And what is your point when stating that?

It is difficult to understand what point you are trying to make when you leave such a brief statement.

I imagine that it is intended to show that PETA kills animals so they are either hypocrites or that they don't have a problem with animals being killed. Or something similar.

Well the organizations name stands for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals". It isn't "People Against Killing Animals".

They are dealing with animals that are in some of the worst straights possible. The vast majority of which will never recover and will be suffering and in pain for the remainder of their lives. That is why they decide to euthanize so many of them. It is the ethical thing to do.

Perhaps you think this is comparable to shooting a horse in the head to make a point to activists in a video. Was that the point of your statement?
