Hayden is Heroic
Filed under: Hayden Panettiere > InspirationWe have a newfound respect for Hayden Panettiere! Maybe she's not a bad girl after all?
The Heroes TV star recently went on a mission to Japan to help save the dolphins. Unfortunately, she and a few of her activist friends got into a violent confrontation with some local fisherman determined to complete their annual slaughter.
The 18-year-old actress paddled out on a surfboard in an attempt to reach a pod of helpless dolphins to stop them from being driven into a nearby cove and killed.
But she and her fellow surfers were intercepted by a fishing boat before they could reach the dolphins. The fishermen used the boat's propellers to block their way and at one point struck out with a boathook.
It was an ugly and potentially life-threatening confrontation that lasted more than 10 minutes before Hayden and crew were forced to return to the beach.
An emotional Panettiere later spoke out about the incident.

Re: lizanne –
wow…….you're really full of shit. so, in an attempt to clear the phillipines out of this all, you're willing to bash another country? what the fuck is wrong with you people? instead of crying out insults and being racist to Japan, why don't you try to help the dolphins? jesus christ.
fyi, its just a very small part of japan that most people haven't even heard of, including people who love IN japan, that is doing this. for all of you guys who are saying that you don't want to vacation there anymore, its not like you'll find these killing coves in every corner.
