The vast majority of commonly spouted anti-PETA information is pure meat industry propaganda. They have spent so much money to paint PETA as cartoonishly evil, and people just bought it hook, line, and sinker. Yes, they have pulled some abrasive and controversial publicity stunts. No, they are not, as an organization, kidnapping and euthanizing healthy animals. They're just passionate animal lovers, and just like within any large organization, people make mistakes. The difference is if someone makes a mistake in most charitable organizations it's treated as such, where any mistake made by someone even peripherally related to PETA is attributed to the organization as a whole as a deliberate, malicious act.
