PETA set to 'bombard' Hot Dog Eating Contest spectators, encourage them to go vegan

Two years ago, Joey Chestnut was interrupted by a protester who he put in a headlock — and then he still managed to eat 63 hot dogs and buns at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Chestnut will not be at this year's event (which takes place on Thursday), but activists will be.

PETA, the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, announced that they will "bombard the competition's spectators" with a truck that will encourage the attendees to go vegan.
