PETA protesting chicken dance at NASCAR

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - PETA is pecking away at NASCAR fans doing the chicken dance.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the Guinness records people to ignore an attempt to set a new record for the chicken dance.

Some 125,000 fans were at the Talladega Superspeedway Sunday and many were shaking their tail feathers.

KFC was the sponsor of the record attempt and PETA charges the Colonel is cruel to chickens. A KFC spokesman denies the allegations.
