1. Shouldn't it be PETP? (after all, a lot of Pokémon don't exactly fit the definition of "animal". And shouldn't it be a Buneary or such on the logo.
2. I wonder how they deal with the fact that most captured Pokémon LIKE their trainers, and several of them are capable of actually communicating that? Stockholm Syndrome?

I'm pretty sure she's in the process of putting Pikachu down, here, so I'd imagine just like PETA stealing pets from people's backyards to put them down, whether or not the Pokemon likes its trainer doesn't factor into the process.

There technically is one big difference here. The reason PETA justifies putting pets down is that they are unable to survive in the wild (and therefore should have never been born). By and large, most Pokémon ARE still caught from the wild. The PETA might be on safe ground with Pokemon from Breeding Centers, but for the rest, it's a little bit shakier.
Actually, in a Pokémon world, PETA equivalents might actually go out and try and train any Pokémon they see to HATE people and attack them on sight with intent to kill, stopping the whole process by making it too DANGEROUS to keep going. I know plenty of people in the PETA in our world who think total animal liberation is not going far enough and we need to create a world where all animals have equal or even superior rights than humans (for example, if a tiger in India were to kill someone, they would say you can't kill OR relocate the tiger, because it would be abridging their right to liave where they please and their right to predate whatever they want, including us.
So this takes place in a nuzlocke world where pokemon die instead of faint?
This is how nuzlocke works. Instead of miraculous revival from a comatose state at a pokecenter, they just get put out of their misery and laid to rest.
This right here is pretty out there. Team Rocket's goal isn't to KILL pikachu, they want to capture it! The whole reason they followed Ash god knows how far was on the flimsy idea of catching his particularly strong pikachu.
If Team Rocket were an actual threat, the moment they steal a good enough pokeball to catch pikachu they should steal it and be done. Should probably hit Ash right after a hard gym battle when half his team is comatose and hopefully pikachu is already injured making it less likely to escape capture.

Not a bad idea, except I think they said there's a rule that, once a Pokémon has been captured, it's bonded to that specific ball, and, unless it is actively released, another ball won't work on it* Pikachu might not STAY in his ball, but he does HAVE one (the one he was in in Professor Oak's Lab**). So to get Pikachu that way, they'd have to rob Ash of Pikachu's ball. Still doable, but not quite the same.
*This might be refuted by how Ash got Charmander, but it is possible that Charmander's original owner released it, and then, when he changed his mind, tried to use a fresh ball to (or the same one, if emptied Pokeballs can be re-used in the TV canon.)
Assuming the theory that the Pikachu Ash has now is not the one he got from Oak but one of the ones that powered the Pokémon center that switched places is not true.
