It was hugely disrespectful to attempt to compare industrial farming to the holocaust (For the record industrial farm is disgusting and unnecessarily cruel). I don't think the problem was with the Jewish religion, but the Jewish ethnicity, as they were the target of the holocaust, as well as 5 million others often forgotten mainly consisting of Slavs, gypsies, handicapped, communists and homosexuals. The differences between causing cruelty to humans and to animals, and between the desire to cleanse humans for 'ethnic purity' and the desire to produce cheap food, should never had been overlooked.
It's a chain of bad decisions like that which has branded PETA with such a bad name. If they really did care about the cause of animal rights they would disband and reform new groups with a more appropriate approach. As it stands now they do for the cause of animal rights as what the Westbro baptist church does for missionary work (on the topic of missionaries, I just had some Jehova's knock on the door...)

I don't see KFC's being closed for hygiene standards though.
Besides, they were going for cruelty standpoint. (And just happened to alienate an entire religion...)
