TV star Hayden Panettiere was involved in a violent confrontation with Japanese fishermen as she and a group of others tried to disrupt their annual dolphin slaughter.The actress, who stars in TV blockbuster Heroes, paddled out in an attempt to reach a pod of dolphins to stop their murder.
The group of surfers including Dave Rastovich, from Australia and the United States, were intercepted by a fishing boat before they could reach the dolphins.
It was a dangerous situation that lasted more than 10 minutes before the surfers were forced to return to the beach.

Intercepted by a fishing boat?? Sounds sedate
That is hilarious.. simply hilarious. She looks so damn upset - but swimming over some damn dolphins isn’t going to make a change.
It absolutely will make a change to some people. I commend her and thank her for doing this.
The Dolphin is so evolved, so social, so brilliant.
Killing them is murder. There is no reason for this slaughter when so many alternatives are abound.
Hayden you are a hero!
Like I said before, nothing sexier than a young lady trying to protect our fellow mammals. DJ Inphinity should come back in the next life as a baby harp seal that gets slaughtered on the ice for its fur. Hollywood needs more young activists like Hayden and Q’orianka Kilcher who take the time to travel to distant places to save the natural environment! SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD!
