Talladega: PETA protests mass chicken dance at NASCAR race (Chattanooga Times Free Press)
Talladega, Ala. (AP) — PETA is taking on what it describes as a new affront to animals: NASCAR fans doing the chicken dance.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals asked Guinness World Records Inc. on Monday to ignore an attempt to set a world record for the largest group chicken dance at the Talladega Superspeedway, site of the Aaron's 499 race on Sunday.
The reason? KFC is the sponsor of the record attempt, and the animal rights group says the fast-food company is cruel to chickens.
A KFC spokesman defended the company's treatment of animals and said it hoped to get 125,000 race fans involved in the mass dance.

Foley police followed a trail of paper and plastic cups to two men who allegedly stole a cart full of prescription drugs from a nursing home, and a third suspect believed to be an accomplice.
About 11 p.m. Saturday night, police were called to the Golden Living Center behind South Baldwin Regional Medical Center after two men reportedly pushed the cart out the back door and drove off with it.
The cart contained a large number of small paper and plastic cups used to distribute medicine and they blew out the back window as the suspects drove, according to investigators.
Lt. David White said he and Cpl. Kevin Carnley followed the cups for about 20 minutes from the parking lot to a home nearly a mile away on Cedar Court.
David Michael Logan, 29, and Joshua Aaron Gollnick, 29, were charged with first-degree theft, while Nicholas Michael Gollnick, 30, was charged with receiving stolen property, police said.
A web site of interest that I wanted to share is World Digital Library. I haven't explored it very much, but it looks like it would be great fun to browse.
This was my planned blog for last night. I still felt it was worth sharing. Today's photo is another from last Saturday.
