Hayden Panettiere: Save the Whales… Again!
Hayden Panettiere led the rally against the resumption of commercial whaling in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle on Sunday.
The 18-year-old Heroes hottie was greeted with rousing applause as she gave her speech in front of two dozen supporters, including her momager Lesley. Milo would be so proud of his girl!
Tomorrow, Hayden will meet with representatives from the embassies of Japan, Norway and Iceland to question their outdated whaling practices. You can also check out her recent interview about saving the whales on CNN.
SAVE THE WHALES!

Whee she’s daring to be captured and living dirty, abused and tortured with greenpeace-terroists type people again..
No wonder the world laughs at Americans! You people are so stupid!
She is meeting with key officials in Washington, not a RALLY, idiots, that’s why only 24 selected people.
Yes, posed pictures to get the media to cover the event — notice you’re talking about whales and you wouldn’t be otherwise. That’s how it works, again, you are IDIOTS!
Now meeting with the major whaling countries (yes, these countries DO whale, IDIOTS!) about their policies. Eskimos don’t kill whales in bulk, and it’s part of their culture. NEVER have Eskimos and other indigenous peoples been part of the worldwide whaling bans.
NOT hypocritical to wear leather (which has nothing to do with being a vegetarian, IDIOTS!) when there is a huge difference between an animal raised to be slaughtered HUMANELY and hunting wild creatures.
And how do you know she’s not wearing eco-friendly makeup? IDIOTS!!!
It’s so friggin’ obvious that you all sit on your asses all day and are embarrassed that an 18-year-old has done something more meaningful with her life ALREADY than you ever have or will!! Get over it!
And who cares what part of the world you are helping people — are you saying that only animals and people in the borders of the US count?
What a bunch of idiots! No wonder most of the world considers Americans to be uncultured, stupid, and willfully uneducated. You people give Americans a bad name. Go back in your holes. Better yet, I hope you never have children so the likes of you can die out.
I love her!
She is great!
She is great! I love her!
theres more important things goin on . shes no activist.
i find this insulting.
She will continue to support “the cause” as long as it gives her press. That’s the kind of commitment she has to the poor whales.
I personally think it’s awful to see a bad tv actress playing the police of the world and wagging her finger at other countries when there are so many wrong things going on with the enviroment of her own country.
But that’s Hollywood to you .*shrugs*
Good for you Hayden. It’s nice to see young hollywood step up for a good cause.
Good for her! It’s refreshing to see someone so young, so passionate about a cause. I can’t believe some people are being so negative about it, even if you don’t agree with her particular cause she deserves some respect. Love ya Hayden, keep your chin up
Look at this from the other side… someone has to protect the whales… it works only when the famous person doin’ it ;/
yay..she’ll say the whales when she is wearing leather or her red leather bag!!
like wtf
hopefully she doesn’t get knocked down with the pole again while on the surfboard…….lmao
but seriously she needs to support things that don’t contradict themselves…i’m mean come on..new leather bag..but i’m going to save the whales..
i live in iceland! im totally against whale hunting! I’m on Hayden’s side! she needs to come here!! seriously!
Bleh! Stay away from Japan Hayden. We don’t want you here!
Love,
Hello Kitty
HER BAG & BOOTS = KILLED ANIMAL’S SKIN
SAVE THE ANIMALS!
SHE IGNORES OTHER ANIMALS LIFE.
HYPOCRITE!
Some people said it so right; We have too many problems here concerning humans. Why try to change other cultures—look inot your own society. but I guess that would not get you that much fame.
YAY HAYDEN :) You rock!
she blows and so many children and issues need attention ,this is it?blehhhhhh
What a shallow cause. Homelessness, World hunger, Darfur, Aids, but she decides to save cute whales? Shallow.
I think it’s all for publicity. I mean, it is a good cause but I truly believe there are more important things to fight for in today’s world.
I don’t like her.
Whales are harmless creatures, they have a right to live and reproduce. Kudos to you Hayden!
Good stuff!
Don’t forget guys!!!
Her boyfriend is a vegetarian..I think she is balancing her life with the vegetarian man!
Don’t you think…:) What a healthy life they have!
Oh as usual it’s so easy for those generally negative, unhappy, jealous types to say “omg what a PR stunt she ain’t sincere Y’ALL”.
Who cares? Raising awareness of animal cruelty anywhere, by anyone does help.
Conveniently forgetting she randomly turned up in Japan without thinking paparazzi would be photographing her (and without makeup and a starbucks :O Oh my!) is kinda silly, imo.
I say go her. Most 18 yr olds I know are obsessed with drinking (I’m british), partying, having sex with 50 guys a week etc. I think it’s great she’s doing something mature like that.
So STFU to you haters :)
She even made it to the norwegian newspapers! -but I figure they actually have less influence in world than Heroes ;)
The Norwegian ambassador was not impressed, however;
“She stayed here for about half an hour and delivered well-known arguments against norwegian whailing. They were that the whales are under threat of extermination, specially intelligent and that it is dangerous to eat whale meat.
[...]
The young actress seemed extremely self-centred and somewhat of an prima donna. «Do you love animals», and «have you ever been swimming with whales», she repeated without showing interest for the scientific founded arguments supporting whailing. The whales are not threated by extermination.
[...]
The most important to her was probably that she could say she had been here and delivered a protest.”
“According to him, last year, norway used about half its quota of 1000 animals. In comparison, it is between 150 000 and 200 000 minke whales in the north atlantic.”
-But I suppose we all can agree that whales are killed in a less than humane way…
I agree with what lots of people have been saying. While it’s good that she has a ’cause’ she’s bringing attention to, it seems like kind of a waste of celebrity as there are more important things in the world to worry about.
I also think she’s being very childish and disrespectful to these ambassadors and politicians she keeps blabbing to. The have worked their way up to become important figures for entire countries. Shes famous for being a hot cheerleader. BIG difference chicky. Personally, I would be insulted if some little girl came in and thought she had the right to lecture me on policies.
