Pam Anderson wants Dale Earnhardt Jr. to help out some chicks. The former ÃÂÃÂBaywatchÃÂÃÂ babe wrote a pleading letter to the NASCAR star after she learned that his race car is sponsored by KFC ÃÂÃÂ which has been under attack from animal rights groups such as PETA, for whom Anderson is a spokeswoman. ÃÂÃÂGreetings from an admirer,ÃÂÃÂ Anderson writes, then outlines the grievances against the fast food chain, including charges that it uses chickens that have been defeathered live with scalding water. ÃÂÃÂWhen you take a multimillion-dollar endorsement from a company, you must also take some responsibility for the companyÃÂÃÂs practices,ÃÂÃÂ Anderson continues, ÃÂÃÂso weÃÂÃÂre asking you to use your considerable influence with KFC to improve its animal-welfare standards.ÃÂÃÂ Anderson even offers to have a letter drafted up that Earnhardt can sign and send to KFC. Earnhardt didnÃÂÃÂt return our calls for comment, but Anderson said in a statement to the Scoop: ÃÂÃÂLittle chickens need a big man like Dale to stick up for them!ÃÂÃÂ(MSNBC)(6-7-2004)
