OlderHayden Panettiere: Japan is a Joke!
SAVE THE CHEERLEADER WHALES, SAVE THE WORLD!
Actress and environmentalist Hayden Panettiere recently received a letter from the Japanese Government Fisheries Agency. Below is their letter and Hayden’s response is below that:
————————
While respecting Ms. Panettierre’s personal feelings towards dolphins and her commitment to travel to Taiji to make her protest, I hope that your viewers will be reassured by the fact that Japan is carefully managing marine living resources for the future. The government’s fisheries policies are based on scientific information and take into account the opinions of the public.
Sincerely,
Takumi Fukuda
Fisheries Attache, Embassy of Japan
Washington, DC
————————
Dear Mr. Fukuda,
Rest assured our viewers and the public at large is appalled by Japanese whaling and fisheries practices. Even within your own country, recent polls show that over 77% of the Japanese public is against whaling while only 11% support it.
To say that Japan is carefully managing marine living resources for the future is a joke. Recent scientific studies have shown that over 90% of the world’s large fish have been depleted by over-fishing and Japan’s own factory-fishing fleets are largely responsible for this, decimating one species after another. Just recently, Japan was found to be in violation of its quota on endangered blue fin tuna. I cannot find one example where Japan has carefully managed any marine species.
In regards to dolphins and whales, Japan’s blatant disregard for these species is unfathomable. Japan is cruelly and needlessly butchering over 20,000 dolphins and other small cetaceans every year. There is no humane way to kill a dolphin or whale and scientific research shows that dolphin and whale meat is unhealthy for human consumption. Your own Government studies show dolphin and whale meat can contain up to 10-16 times the healthful level of mercury and that elevated levels of mercury have been proven to cause birth defects, neural damage, and death. As a result, several Japanese supermarket chains have pulled dolphin and whale meat from their shelves due to the health risks. Despite this however, your fisheries agency continues to advocate for the needless killing of dolphins and whales.
In addition, your whaling fleet is now planning to kill over 1,000 whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary including endangered fin and humpback whales. There is nothing scientific about this slaughter. All the data being collected can be and is being collected through non-lethal means by bona-fide scientists, not bogus scientists like yours.
Recently, a representative for Japan’s fisheries agency said:
“Whales are just as important, and no more special, than any other fish,” says Japan Fisheries Agency spokesperson Hideki Moronuki, maintaining Japan’s long-held position that marine mammals should get no special treatment for being warm-blooded.
Your scientists can’t even tell the difference between a marine mammal and a fish. Do you realize how ignorant Japan looks to the rest of the world? Please be advised that we are telling all consumers to not purchase any Japanese made products until Japan stops killing dolphins and whales and we will be vigilant in this regard. We are determined to end Japan’s brutally cruel and needless slaughter of dolphins and whales and I will do everything within my power to ensure this.
Sincerely,
Hayden Panettiere
Spokesperson

aw I like her now.
she annoys me.
I love what she’s doing.
Thanks!
Fantastically said. I love her.
I’m sure the Japan economy will crumble to it’s knees now that she’s calling for a boycott…
Geez can she sound less mean and poorly raised? Japan is a sovereign country and am sure America has beetter people than an 18 year old immature whop replies a letter like sh eis throwing a tantrum. What i shappening to America?
i also like her now … i don’t know if all this is for publicity but at least she’s doing something for the world to know better about this crime
I agree, I wasn’t aware this stuff was still going on until the publicity she had from the protest. I can’t believe Japan is still doing this, it is repugnant. There doesn’t seem to be any real reason for it except some sick tradition or something.
Hayden was NOT professional about her response. She’s acting like a little brat.
I Think Shes Cool And All But Someone Should Tell Her Overexposure Isnt A Good Thing
good for her…no matter the cause, it is just nice to see a “young Hollywood hottie” show that, that term doesn’t need equal indifference to the world!
even though I don´t like her, I admire what shes doing.
Do you really think she wrote this letter herself? GMAB
I applaud her for making effort to save the Dolphins and whales. I hope she succeeds on what she’s trying to accomplish. I’m not a fan of her but I admire people who makes an effort for the good of the others.
thanks for supporting the whales and fishes but hello!~ america is looking damn ignorant and hypocritical. we kill billions of chickens and cows each year, contributing to a plethora of consequences on peoples healths and the environment. the “blatant disregard for the animals is unfathomable” to other countries too… so seriously hayden. take a look in the mirror before you preach and spit your hate
are you even a vegetarian? lol
Nice effort but I wonder how much her assistant gets paid to write her letters for her???
Any takers…?
Enough of this media *** She can’t fool me into thinking people are really interested in her. Her PR team is working overtime.
in a way i admire her activism, but my affinity for her is extremely limited. i agree with becker up there.
and honestly, america doesn’t need any more help to promote the image of presumptuous arrogance overseas.
she so did not write that herself.
the japanese are not killing the whales for leisure they kill the whales to eat their meat. its the same thing we do in this country with cows and chickens. all animals are important and though i admire her 4 taking a stance on an issue she is being hypocritical seeing as how she is not a vegetarian. it is hayden who looks ignorant and not japan
I’m sure she really wrote that letter-how stupid.
And no one wants to hear an 18 y ear old act like a know-it-all, even if that 18 year old has a “ghost writer.”
um, hayden honey, America is looking really ignorant to the rest of the world, and having a girl who plays a superhero cheerleader trying to “educate” the Japanese only makes us look more ignorant and stupid.
Good for her!
some people amaze me, you have a famous teenager who is trying to do something good and people critisize her, but if she decided to go out partying and not care about stuff like this what would you say then???? Leave the girl alone, I have major respect for her!!!
I”m sure her heart is in the right place, but could they even at least had TRIED to make it like she wrote it? And the tone is totally inappropriate for someone that young. It’s completely inappropriate-who is she? She’s like some chick on a tv show. Don’t give that kind of attitude.
ps-I think people can respect her efforts, but can still explain why her presentation is actually distracting from those efforts.
Yeah, Hayden totally wrote that.
Nina- where you there when this letter was wrote?? how the hell do you know she had no part in writing it???
Hey, if you want to believe Hayden wrote that letter, go for it. I would say the majority of people here realize she didn’t though.
Arrest her Over Exposed gnome azz,she only did the ’save the dilphin stunt’ 4 publicity. Her PR people at their worse. We the public,at least most of us ,see right through your ‘keep her being noble and good with the public campaign’. Trying to rise her status. Ummm,PR people shhhh.. dont tell anyone but Hayhoe aint so innocent,she struts around half naked most of the time. And we see her doing mudane things to much. I know she didnt write this. Im sure in the next few min,days ,hours,ect,,she’ll pop up again..BTW she cant act.
bECKER, what is happening is that people are making their voices heard on issues that matter to them. Fortunately both the US and Japan support freedom of speech.
“we kill billions of chickens and cows each year, contributing to a plethora of consequences on peoples healths and the environment”
Not everyone is a vegetarian - and the last time I checked, chickens and cows aren’t endangered species. As for consequences to the environment - what are you talking about, the methane gas from cow farts?
Though she likely did not write the letter in its entirety, I’ll bet she was involved in the contents. And she’s signing on behalf of the group.
I doubt she’s doing it for publicity of the kind many here cynically believe - she at the place now where she can use her fame to get a cause noticed. I doubt John or Jane Doe would garner a response from the Japanese Embassy, or bring attention to the problem on a worldwide basis. Good for her!
She’s really milking this whale thing for all it’s worth.
Stop this arrogance, Hayden. Start with protesting against the killing of cows and chickens in the U.S. before you go overseas to preach about not killing cute looking animals.
Japan is a joke not for killing animals for meat but for writing a letter to an ignorant woman who is just trying to be cool with her so called activism.
i love Hayden. im so glad shes using her fame to help save the dolphins and whales. i could careless if she wrote that letter herself or not. at least shes doing something.
I am a little bit embarassed for hayden. I mean, she probably didnt write the letter BUT PROOF READ IT AT LEAST! Also, is she threatening the embassy of Japan?!?
I don’t think she’s doing it for publicity. It’s more that the letter is really not for the person addressed to it. It’s a letter for the public to get more publicity for the cause. I don’t know if this is the right kind of publicity though.
you go applehead, fcuk japan!
This woman is really following our political leaders’ foot steps. Trying to correct other countries when the worst global problems are started right here. Give up your porsche dear, it is not good for the environment !!!
Good for her! I’m sick of hearing about all the other brainless Hollywood type who do nothing. At least she’s out there trying to do some good.
obviously she didn’t write that letter. it’s a joke to make ppl think she’s capable of those words. Also, to call an entire country ignorant? She’s ignorant.
So I guess she doesn’t like sushi huh? Like someone posted previous asking if she’s a vegetarian. I think that is very good question. Next time she puts on a pair of leather boots, she should think about where that came from.
I meant to say “previously”…sorry
sorry about the typos…I need someone to write for me too.
LOL Sweetpea. Where in her busy schedule of party-hopping, trips to the gym and buying make-up that makes her look 15 years older than she actually is, did she find the time to write this little book report/letter?
If you want me to respect what you’re trying to do, you have to actually be the one doing it.
NAME CALLING IS NOT NECCESSARY. if she wants to be taken seriously, why doesn’t she stop pointing her manicured fingers at other countries problems and look at what america is doing to itself.
oops, she cant do that, she lose her fan base.(sarcasm)
priorities people.
Good for her!!
For all the ignorant people here who are comparing cows to dolphins, maybe you guys should move to Japan, I am sure you guys will be more happy there than here in North America(U.S and Canada), dolphins are one of the most beautiful creatures in the world, there is no need to slaughter them, Japan clearly has access to other food resources, this is not a pr stunt, it was the Japanese Embassy who contacted Hayden, it was others who put the video of her trip to Japan on Youtube, we all should respect Hayden for what she has been able to accomplish and bring attention to this case, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS, while most of us hide behind computers she is doing something product, if you guys are against her, then I dare you to go out and make a seen, you guys wouldn’t, you know why because, you guys are all take and no action, HATERS
First of all I do believe in the cause, I just don’t believe she is legit about it. The writing came off as pretentious, and furthermore, how much research was put into this entire issue to begin with. Granted I haven’t read up on the issue myself, but after all this attention its gotten I am interested and I give her credit for that, BUT to tote yourself around like u are a geniune activist when u do it behind others, where others set up photo opps and events for you to go to. Where others have manufactured what you should say rather than u “the activist” doing it urself is what i question.
Does she really care or is there other motivating reasons
Just questioning??
#29 B*^&%: honey, nina was not there when FAT-Hayden Panettiere wrote the letter, nina was the one who wrote it!!!
i hate that fat-pig Hayden Panettiere! she’s the REAL JOKE! she’s the ugliest (whale) i have ever seen!

Wow. While I do agree that our natural resources should be preserved, I think that Hayden’s response was unnecessarily rude and arrogant. Diplomatic she is not. Hasn’t she learned that you cannot presume to tell an entire country what to do? That’s the best way to antagonize them further, not that I think that Japan is unduly concerned about Hayden.
I am a new fan!!! Way to GO!! People who UNDERestimate the idealism and PASSION of young people are complete IDIOTS.
The only people who WILL better the world are the young.
All the old people have F$*@ ed it up beyond recognition.
i hate when americans try to tell other nations what to do.now you know why the rest of the world has such a poor view of americans.hayden shut the hell up and think of fixing the problems in your own damn country first.
this little runt better watch out - when her career is over after a few more years of Heroes her little foray into so called pseudo-activism will be all she has. she better play her cards right.
this talentless tv “star” wins my award for overexposure of the year. Her PR people deserve raises!
Would you all rather have her go out and party? She’s making an effort to do something GOOD for the world and half of you are critisizing her. If she went out and partied you’d call her a *****, and she’s doing something good and you’re calling her an idiot. I just don’t get you people.
I support Hayden 100%!
it’s the trite way she goes about it. this talentless chick was out surfing one day and came upon some guys killing dolphins. Of course, her PR people had paps waiting in the wings to get her reaction. Now that she is on a high horse because she was shown on television making a scene - she HAS to do something. So she gets someone to write a letter for her and then shows us that she “cares”. she’s fake as all get out. i’d rather her go out and have fun and not try to act like she’s humanitarian of the year.
stop driving that gas guzzler. stop waring leather boots and clutching a leather bag. again - she’s a pseudo-activist - doing it for PR. Overexposed!
i agree with 21 and 16!
she looks/sounds damn ignorant. i feel embarrassed for anyone who actually believes she’s doing some good with her silly actions. i wonder how much gas she burned on the airplane she flew over to japan to even do that. look at the car she drives now..
she’s very environment UN-friendly.
“There is no humane way to kill a dolphin or whale and scientific research shows that dolphin and whale meat is unhealthy for human consumption.”
and there’s a humane way to kill chickens/cows/pigs?
she’s not even a vegetarian. if anything, she promotes killing animals by releasing her ugly dooney and burke red patent LEATHER bags.
@ heather
lol. This talentless chick is such a hypocrite! The good thing is that she will be over when her tv show is!
Listen Erin - we know other young people her age are doing worse, but does it make it any better if she does is for all the wrong reasons, it just negates the whole intended purpose dontcha think??
I mean is that why most of us who see celebs put their names on products (like clothing lines just to sell their image, its not like they were the ones actually cutting the cloth and sewing things together)
Having her face for this campaign based on the writing as well seems like that’s what she’s doing except instead of clothes its dolphines
Your going to have a cause its better that its done right then not done at all.
LOL, whoops I meant helen.
haha
hypocrite i hope so. i don’t even watch heroes but i’m not going to start now.
woah she’s pretty cool.
I used to hate Hayden- really!- but after this, I sort of respect her, or at least I respect what she’s doing. And although I’m sure that she didn’t write this, just because she’s a celebrity, I do know 18-year-olds and even 14-year-olds, like my daughter, who can and do write using sophisticated language. Some teenagers are actually capable of cogitating beyond “OMG! U R so, like, totally fab.”. (Like I say, some teenagers. Not all.)
Hey, Hayden! It’s not only Japan. European too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2AOLvmDCus
water melon head is soooooooooo incredibly fake. im young and i too think she did this for publicity. all she does is shop, pose seductively(bad example 4 young women) flash her breasts& butt. she probably eats sushi. she use to smoke. and i could go on and on. she is no hero, yet she puts on this farse bout saving dolphins. im all for dolphins and im a vegan. i aint buying what shes selling, i done believe her. shes way to into trying to be the’it’ girl.
She wrote that most of the Japanese citizens are against killing of whales in their own country. And if they can’t stop whatever whale killing that their own country is doing, who the hell does she think she is? Unless you are a vegan and helping the world to control pollution to the environment, we are all helping to kill something everyday. Are all her makeup products she uses to put on her face not animal tested? All the damn bottled water that she’s drinking probably is killing more species than she knows.
In America where plenty children are starving and being abused, I’m sorry, whale is not on the top of my list. Why doesn’t she just put on a pretty outfit and her nice leather boots and go to serve lunch to the poor one day. Granted saving whales is a good cause but she didn’t have to go insult the entire country and their people who probably have been working hard to save the whales too.
Soooo gurl, pllluuuueeezzzzzeeee.
I’m sure she means well, BUT she’s totally being USED like a puppet for this organization she’s representing. It’s painfully obvious THEY wrote the letter, and took the tone they did that was confrontational and smug. And then they prop this hayden chick up like “she’s” responding. Give me a break. This organization may mean well too, but they are doing one of those PETA-style campaigns that just piss people off and distract from their message in the first place.
I’m proud of what she’s doing…..Good Job Hayden
Of course she has no problem cashing a check from Nutrogina, whom she does ads for… They animal test, but NAH, don’t worry, that is TOTALLY different, right?
I LOVE feel-good-ism hypocrites.
@jake: your response is so typical. “If you don’t like it here in America, move to _________!!!” I actually watch Heroes and I’m her fan so I’m no hater.
Hayden P may want to do good, but the way she’s approaching this (especially the unprofessional tone in the letter) is not the way to do it.
I agree she should probably give up her Porsche too HAHAH. A lot of things she’s saying/doing is hypocritical.
Yay Hayden!! She’s committed to her cause.
[Your scientists can’t even tell the difference between a marine mammal and a fish. Do you realize how ignorant Japan looks to the rest of the world?]
Dear Hayden,
I’m gone. Peace!
signed, your brain.
That’s my girl! I absolutely love her! She has a soul and she actually does good with her life…you go! Lindsay lohan you are not! And it really helps that she actually has talent..but please don’t release an album…don’t become another lohan
WAY TO GO HAYDEN!!
i don’t agree with the practice of the dolphin killing in japan, however you can’t be ingnorant. Maybe some people will realize that there are SOME cultures in the world that do not share the same beliefs as America. This practice has probably been part of the culture for hundreds of years. Many people could argue that the slaughtering of chickens and cows in this country is repulsive. The way they kill these animals in America are the least bit humanitary; yet, just becausephins are cute and not nomally eaten here in the US, the japanese fish industry is looked down upon.
I guess I should stress that I’m not in support of this practice.
But if you’re going to go out and flaunt that you are saving the world by helping these dolphins in Japan, you shouldn’t look past the many other animals here in this country that are brutally slaughtered everyday.
Hayden is and animal activist now haaaaaaa LMAO.
This young woman is to much, she is everything good, if one would believe her hype, and I don’t. Hayden stop the plugging yourself, and leave the dam dolphins off your faux hyped agenda. You are so over exposed. I watch Hereo’s once, it is the worse cast of actors and actresses one can imagiine.
Just asking..Why does she look so old?
Hmmm…I wonder if she ever thought of turning the attention towards her own country instead of pointing fingers at Japan! Dolphin hunts have been around for hundreds of years in Japan and even in America they were used for subsistence before the arrival of the Europeans - its called tradition and culture. We all can’t be lovely Americans - one word “Kyoto”.
I just have to say, as someone who spent 2 years living in the same prefecture as Taiji - the reason that this town continues the whale hunt is primarily because it is the absolute only thing they have going for them economically. They’re in the middle of nowhere, it’s been the whole town’s livelihood/tourism spin for ages, and no companies or industry are lining up to knock their doors down and find other sources of work for the people in the local fishing industry.
At any rate, the saddest part is that no one even WANTS to eat the whales - while a 75-year-old man once told me that “the tail is the best part, but it’s so small and expensive I’ve only had it once”, do you know who ends up eating all the unsold whale meat? Schoolkids. The prefecture agreed to introduce all unsold whale meat into the school lunch program - while a few wacky entrepreneurs are trying to invent “whale burgers” and other gimmicks to make it palatable, in general you can hardly even find whale for sale in local groceries - almost everyone would much rather have wagyuu beef or expensive fish over whale.
That said, the more people try to beat them down, the more stubborn they get in asserting that it’s their culture and their right. Why? Partly because no one likes it when foreign countries spit on you, and partly because it’s all well and good to yell “stop killing the whales!” but no one seems to be yelling “give the people jobs that pay more!” I have a feeling that for 90%+ of the people involved, if they had a better option financially, they’d be just as pro-whale as the rest of the world.
ever since angelina jolie, so many “wannabe” activists in hollywood.
There’s a constructive and counter-productive way to make your case. Hayden has chosen the latter. This sort of piousness is simply aggravating. Finally, anyone who thinks she wrote this letter is mistaken.
Agreed with most comments = Hayden DID NOT write this. The content and wording is at a quasi-professional level and I seriously doubt she does enough writing to come up with this on her own.
What is with this comparison with cows & chickens? Dolphins and whales may become extinct, cows and chickens will NEVER become extinct until pigs fly.
I agree Hayden is totally being used by the organization. She’s young and probably wants to help, but by having her name on that letter that was obviously written by those savethewhale people, she’s the one who is going to get the backlash for that stupid letter. I understand where the concerns are, but that letter was absolutely juvenile when you keep in mind a freaking adult wrote it for her. savethewhalesagain! sounds like a real publicity ho type of group.
TAke a page from peta, save the whales. No one wants to actually read anything Hayden allegedly wrote. She’s 18 and probably only got her GED. She’s been out at every party in the last week, she didn’t have time for her save the whales book report, complete with annotated bibliography and endnotes.
Just tell her to take her clothes off and have her ride a whale “Whalerider” style. Save the Whales sucks if they have to hide behind some 4′11″ teenager and manipulate her to the point of making her sound like a complete idiot with that letter. I feel bad for hayden actually, this makes her look really dumb and she probably just wanted to do something worthwhile.
hayden’s real letter to japan:
Deer Japan:
I really like Benihanna restaurants so I know you Japanese peoples aren’t so bad. But wails are people too! Stop being meen to the wails! K’, gotta go. My hummer just got done being hand dried by 10 illegal aliens who I will now tip with a dollar bill to share among the lot of them!
luv,
Haiden
x0×0x
Yeah Japan really thinks they look ignorant to the rest of the world & we are all going to stop buying Japanese products cuz she said so. I’m sure they are shaking in their boots.
she used the word bogus lol! what a douche
Finally a person that thinks like me! I love u Hayden!
Hayden is ignorant.
Therefore, the American is disliked from the world…
she goes and says 77% are against the problem then she says “all of” japan is ignorant. who is she to tell japan what to do
I LOVE what she’s doing, although reading her letter, it seemed she could ease the anger a little, I mean it’s a whole country she’s addressing.
Nevertheless, I respect her for going out there and making the world listen!
Hayden’s not smart enough to write that. LOL. She paid someone to write it, duh! But it’s so true. Dolphins and whales shouldn’t be killed and eaten! It’s gross, and unfair…
I’m sure she didn’t actually personally write that letter. I mean, I’m guessing she maybe reviewed over it and came up with some ideas to say, but I don’t think she wrote it. Needless to say though, I think this is a logical thing to fight for. Maybe she should help the poor seals and such in Canada too. Save the Seals!!!
Wow who cares? This whole save the animals malarchy is annoying.How can the American government be against it whe the nation also loves meat? What’s the moral difference in killing a cow and a whale?
I’m on the fence about this girl. I do think that she wants to Save the Whales
everybody loves dolphins and whales they are beautiful creatures, so
of coarse being a young girl what better cause. Her mom was with her
and it turned into a media event which for her was the smartest thing
she has done for her career and her persona. Now the part I am skeptical
about is that she is at the clubs, and every media event that is happening
everday. She dresses to the nines, hawks products, expensive and
poses in pictures that definately are considered “Cheesecake ” pictures.
So if she wants to come off as a good role-model I think she has to make a
choice either be an activist or a little sex symbol she is not Pam Anderson
I don’t think you can play both sides of the fence. I do have to give it to her
though she is playing this to the hilt and if it hepls her career more power to her.
Oh and I agree, Japan should fry her ass, she’s a no one. Juts ‘Heroes’ made her and it wil also break her. I hear d season 2 was crap.
COWS and CHICKENS are raised in farms and poultries, so there’s no way they could go extinct unlike whales and dolphins. She has used her popularity to something great and you guys are criticizing her…even though she didn’t write, we should still give her credit for what she is fighting for….
while i understand and support hayden for her dedication to this cause. i would have to say the letter was condescending and rude. you don’t attack japan as a whole, and when you are trying to make people see your views you don’t insult them with name calling like “bogus scientist”, “ignorant” and etc. it’s almost looks as if she’s looking for a fight instead of a resolution to the matter. and japan is another country, she should try to be sensitive to the cultural differences. this makes her look like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
f*ck the whales, f*ck dolphins and f*ck the environment. hayden stick to what you’re good at. ie. p0rn. now put that nice c*ck back in your mouth and be quiet.
to zephi - killing is killing.
i don’t see how there is a difference.
please krufth, explain why factory farming is ok, and killing dolphins and whales aren’t.
aren’t they both being done for the same reason?
Save the Tasmanians, you redneck Aussie full of hypocrisy. Just needs attention.
LMFAO at the people who believe she wrote that.
Doesn’t American have any more grown up and more articulate diplomats? Do they have to use an immature, silly little girl? I admire activism but I abhor arrogance borne out of immaturity.
My who cares?
I don´t see anybody trying to free cows, now do I?
Why is that Hayden?
Are they not poor animals as well?
But hey I like them just fine—–on my burger.
That is so true. I thought she was just another Hollywood starlet, but this is a decent, intelligent girl.
Well done Hayden, I might even watch your show now!
That letter was brilliant. Go Hayden!
her love for dolphins is really a joke haha
you can ***** and moan about her all you want but the fact is she’s got balls,she’s making a stand for something. In a world where Lindsay,Britney and Paris ect..are spending their time in rehab,jail or a gutter somewhere,she’s backed up her words and gone to japan and actually put her self in front of these boats.The video is out there to prove it. a lot of the people who spend their free time taking cheap shots at her could just learn something from her..
I dont care if she did write that herself or not… but I’d have to say SHE ROCKS ! I mean, good for her… and I totally admire what she’s doing. And please DONT BASH her she’s trying her best, so please just keep it to youself. And BTW she doesnt have to be a vegetarian to do that. I’m not, but in this case (killing animals for NO good reason) I’m so on her side.
Keep it up, Hayden =D
The animal protection is good.
but, she is ignorant.
The problem of the warrant for arrest is a lie, and she is a stupid woman…
She deceives us.
This woman does not boycott a Japanese product
By the way, I TOTALLY agree with David10006 !
Heroes has become a great sucess around the whole world, and in mine point of wiew, it’s good for human kind that our Hollywood hottie fought about the preservation of the whales and dolphins, and with her fame she will go far with this project, good luck for he.
I’m out.
Good for her. I really do respect her.
closed- minded girl , she shouldn’t include the whole japan products and blah blah as if she had the power to stop people purchasing Japanese products . It ’s a joke . Her solution seems to make Japanese , even who disprove the killing of whales angry . Fortunately , she is no one.
Compared to the letter of Embassy of Japan , this 18-year-old girl is too rude , if she really writes it .
Dudes with y’all don’t wanna preservate the world for ur kids i don’t give a ****, but slaughtering whales and dolphins, its above the limit, i suggest who thinks the U.S kill chickens to move out to Japan, will be very better to ya, our only major problem is with CO², the rest its “almost cool”, and who was the dumb **** who called her fat hottie, damn man u must be a undercovered *****, or u are jealous about her.
GROW UP.

Awwe.
I wish children were as cute as dolphins and whales. Maybe more celebs would try to influence the world to care about people more than puppies, dolphins, baby seals, and pandas.
I bet you ten bucks she didnt pen that letter, she couldnt possibly be that coherent.But I am on her side as far as the dolphins are concerned.
This minnie little fame hoe should STFU. She’s only interested in publicity I so agree. Hayden F^ck off and leave the dolphins alone. BTW ,I like Japan,and other countries, don’t group all Japanese people 2gether, geez you poser- just fre.ak off. Btw, I’m American and proud.:smile:
she annoys the hell out of me.
like she would even know the word “unfathomable”.
i go to a private school in london and hardly anyone knows that word. i doubt she even wrote the letter.
hmmm.. her response or shall I say her people’s response was the ignorant one… she makes America look ignorant. She’s just attacking Japan very unprofessionally. i give her props for raising awareness, but her style of attacking is uncalled for. At least use from scientific means.
haha ok so it’s good that she’s ready to fight for what she belives in but isn’t this just kinda stupid? It’s not like she’s gonna accomplish anything by doing it this way. If you are against it then send a letter to the president of japan, become a spokesperson for greenpeace or something…use your celebrity to create better awareness for the issue…don’t go to a foreign country and insult their traditions and stand in the way of the fishermen who are just doing their job. Immature.
