hayden panatterie saves the whales

This weekend, Panettiere spoke at the Save the Whales-Again campaign at DuPont Circle in Washington D.C to help raise awareness about the brutal slaying of whales around the the world. Save the Whales-Again is an international conservation project that aims to re-ignite the passion of the earlier "Save the Whales" movement and "Save the Whales Again!".

Panettiere joins fellow celebrities, Pierce Brosnan, Keely Shaye Smith, and Isabel Lucas who have all pitched in to try and help save the whale…again. Panettiere has been particularly active in the movement and has future plans to speak with representatives from Japan, Iceland, and Norway to try and convince them to change their archaic fishing practice.

Late last year Hero’s star Hayden Panettiere and Ric O’Barry from Savejapandolphins . org bravely battled Japanese fisherman as they tried to stop the annual slaughter of hundreds of innocent dolphins and whales in Taiji Japan. This gruesome killing also yielded some dolphins who were “saved” and sold by the fishermen to “marine parks” for entertainment purposes such as live dolphin shows and swim with dolphin “programs.”
