OlderHayden Panettiere to Lead Whale Rally
Hayden Panettiere will lead a rally against a resumption of commercial whaling at 1 p.m. this Sunday, January 27, in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle. The event kicks off a whirlwind trip to the Nation’s Capital for Hayden, who will later speak with policymakers and students to encourage increased whale protection.
The 18-year-old Heroes star is a spokesperson for the Save the Whales Again! campaign, which is calling on the United States to stand up for whales at the International Whaling Commission and take diplomatic and economic action against whaling countries. After the rally, she will speak at Georgetown University. On Monday, she will meet with representatives from the embassies of Japan, Norway and Iceland to question their outdated whaling practices.
“Whales face increasing threats from climate change, ship strikes, entanglement in nets, and chemical and noise pollution, yet Japan, Norway and Iceland continue to kill them in increasing numbers,” Hayden said. “I am looking forward to talking with officials who actually make and carry out our policies, as well as fellow young people who will be voting in the upcoming election—I want our voice to be heard.”
On Tuesday, Hayden will speak at a 1 p.m. press conference hosted by House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee Chair Nick Rahall (D-WV). She will be joined by Rahall and Senator John Kerry (D-MA) in urging the US Government to reinstate its former leadership role protecting whales from commercial slaughter. An evening reception with Members of Congress and their staff is the final stop on her trip.
JOIN HAYDEN AND SAY “NO” TO COMMERCIAL WHALING!

she’s so pretty
FIRST
at least she’s an actress who does something
Yeah I agree. So it’s not about the war, at least she cares about something other than herself.
It’s pretty cool that she has a belief that she stands for but she enables the pochers to continue by purchasing and wearing lipstick. Defeats the purpose and she’s kind of a hyprocite…
i luv how she takes the attention she gets from being famous and uses it to save the whales instead of being like miley cyrus and become all sluty, take inapropreat pictures and lets them leak!!
GO HAYDEN!!
Go sleep with the fishes, Hayden. You suck as an actor and a person. So fake!
SHE IS SOOO AWESOME! I KNOW SHE’LL DO GREAT!!! GOOD LUCK HAYDEN!!!
WOW!!!!!!!! SO UM HYPOCRITE IF U DIDNT LIKE HAYDEN THEN WHY WOULD U LEAVE A COMMEMT! U ROCK HAYDEN!!! GOOD LUCK AT T
I go to Georgetown and I’ll be there! There’re posters with her headshot everywhere on campus….
LMFAO at #6
She’s an inspiration. She’s inspired me to at least do something for other people thats important. This matter is important, no matter what people say. Whales are a big part of our lives and atmosphere. She’s doing something good for the world and she’s amazing for that.
My hats off to you, Hayden.
She’s just trying to get more publicity!!! MEDIA *****!
why whales? there are so much people who need help.
Good Hayden, You’ve done really a great job, Keep It Up!! :D I’ll support you
I’m all for protecting the whales and I admire Hayden’s passion for and committment to the cause. I would happily protest with her and sign a petition if asked me to. One thing I would not do is sit and be lectured to by an 18-year-old.

Because the world needs to know what a lousy hypocrite this little midget witch is. Hell yeah, she’ll save the whales!…only to have them massacred herself so she can have their skins made into nice little leather boots or a nice leather jacket to even out her ensemble for that day.
What a dumb *****!
hypocrite,
Who gives, really? She’s doing something good with her time instead of partying/doing coke/being promiscuous with other men like OTHER celebs her age are doing. Your just degrading her because you want to find something wrong with her, which you will not. She’s determaned and she will go through with her plans if you like it or not.
WOW.. She’s really serious about this. It’s so nice to see a young celeb doing something good and not just for publicity

Good for her. Great cause. More should get involved!!!
Even if she looks like she’s playing to the paps all the time, at least she’s using her popularity to promote good causes.
She’s not as self-centered and it’s all about fashion fashion and grocery shoping as other starlets.
Hear that RBils?
Im not a big fan of Hayden, but I have to admit that what she’s doing is really nice. At least she’s doing something good using her popularity so thumbs up for her.
oh god another global warming idiot. every picture I see her in with a car is always a gas guzzling suv. What climate change?, the one that’s been going on for centuries, the one that occurred before man was ever on the planet? Does hayden realize that the earth is round and not flat? Hello, hayden are you out there? And what does the US government have to do with Whaling. Whaling isn’t being done in the United States. Well since george bush listens to bono I guess he’ll probably listen to Hayden to, at least she doesn’t look like a burned out junkie, I could stand listening to her for probably a minute. Also she’s working/worked with the weather channel. Does she realize that the owner of the weather channel has come out against all the global warming nonsense?
I think everyone should have something that they are passionate about so I commend her for pursuing her passion and not just spending the days partying away
i wish she would just go away. shes all kinds of annoying.
She’s very pretty!
