Hayden Panettiere Saves The Whales In A Bikini

Hayden Panettiere was in was in Taiji, Japan earlier this week, protesting commercial fishing that kills hundreds of dolphins each year. The Heroes star came prepared to do battle by donning a bikini and brining, ahem, attention to the cause. From the article,
“Hayden Panettiere, star of TVs hit series Heroes, paddled out on behalf of Save The Whales Again! She expressed that she felt the spirit of the dolphins who had been driven into the killing cove over the last 400 years.
We had a moment of silence for all the dolphins that had been killed here, said Panettiere, who uses her celebrity to protect dolphins and whales. It was highly emotional. I wished for peace and for no more pain at this beautiful yet tragic cove.
The Taiji fishermen, who defend the kills as part of their traditional fishing culture, had planned to stop the ceremony through force and police arrest. The possibility of a locally led resistance was averted by a dramatic last-minute turnaround. Rastovich was able to broker a meeting with area locals less than 12 hours before the paddle-out crew arrived unannounced at the killing cove.”
Locally led resistance? Sounds intense! Kudos to Hayden for lending her celebrity to the cause. Click here to learn more about the organization.
Nothing sexier than a young lady traveling halfway across the globe to save our fellow mammals. The fact that she is in a bikini and very attractive is a bonus. WAY TO GO HAYDEN. Just get out of that gasoline using Prius and into a Honda Civic GX, and you’ll show others in Hollywood that you’re informed which is really the “Greenest Car.” civicgx.com
She should focus her attention on helping people escape opperssion or violence. What is the relevance of her body, or her bikini? Would her actions be less laudable if she happened to be a fat, pastey 280 pound man? In general, I think people think so.
I just read that she STILL hasnt gotten rid of ther big SUV’s yet… she needs to set a little better example in my opinion.
your awesome and you and your friends are 100% in the right. the people going after the dolphins and whales are greedy ignorant pieces of garbage! i would really like to participate and confront them with you all. if you find time please e mail me and let me know how i can help in any way. keep up the great work. you are the true heroes
she is so stupid. maybe she should try helping real endangered animals, like the right whale or manatees.
its probably more wasteful and toxic to always be traveling around the world for superficial reasons.
the dolphins that they kill are over populating the shore, they are not killing endangered animals. she’s just looking for a way to gain more celebrity.
don’t get mad Jill because you ain’t fine like her!!!!!
Oh for goodness sake! It is just embarrassing to see serious points made by a woman in a bikini! As others have pointed out, there are far better things she could have done without travelling thousands of miles - giving up her SUV’s would certainly be a start.
Omg Hayden Rocks!
and for you poeple who donnt thinks she does well i dont see ur butt on the headlines ,infact even helping!
and who cares if they arnt endangered
they still are a living breathing thing
and its cruel to kill them!

[…] I’m really hoping that Hayden doesn’t get married, have it annulled, get married again, have 2 kids less than a year apart, and have a melt-down any time soon. At least she’s got the whales. […]
[…] Ecorazzi has reported over and over again Hayden loves her some whales, and so, in her continuous fight to protect the beloved […]
She is making the idea of saving whales look good by looking good herself. I am glad that she is helping our environment
It’s a shame the bag she designed for Dooney & Bourke is leather. I take it she’s not up for saving cows.
