Heroes Star Hayden Panettiere breaks down over the killing of baby dolphins

20071101BabyDolphinKillingHaydenPanettiere

Click play on the video below to see a graphic newscast of a very controversial annual dolphin killing tradition in Japan.  Hayden Panettiere was one of the surfer protesters who went to try to stop this year’s slaughter.  She broke down talking about the experience.  Each year the tradition gains more attention.

How much longer can they keep this tradition going with the global political pressure mounting against it and the “scientific” whale slaughter?

    [...] their Navy could fling some fake whales at the Japanese whaling research ships.  As for me, I’m going to go throw some cans of tuna to see how strong I am. [...]

    To view the video, just click on Hayden. It’s a flash video, so it won’t work on a device such as the iPhone (at least not at the time of this comment).

    I am a 50 yr old man all in tears right now. I dont know if I can stand tormenting myself daily with these images because my heart sinks. Why the HELL can the unified countries not fight this?? With all the $$$ governments are wasting daily, politicians are arrogant, lazy and will not stop this cruelty. I wont buy Japanese!!!

    What the heck??? A TRADITION??? What kind of tradition is killing dolphins for no reason??? Grrr… next year, I want to be there protesting. But really??? Why would killing innocent, beautiful animals ever be CONSIDERED a tradition??? Do they thinks it’s FUN to kill things??? Honestly, if they want to kill things, they should kill themselves. Atleast the dolphins would be happy.
