Hayden Panettiere Speaks Out, Campaigns for Animal Rights 
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

“Now more than ever the world has to come together to make changes. Just because certain cultures have had long-standing traditions does not mean that in today’s world they are acceptable any longer. The world and the environment are evolving and that means we must change our ways as human beings as well.”

The dolphins and whales in our ocean are a part of a larger eco-system that prevents the killing off of other marine life. By destroying these animals and not allowing our future generations to enjoy their beauty, we are causing our own selves damage. I always felt the need to speak on behalf of these helpless creatures who can not defend themselves.

Because I am in the public eye I feel the need to be a voice of worthy and important causes whose efforts impact the lives of every person on Earth. These animals are being brutally and unnecessarily slaughtered – and who are we to say to they have less of a right to exist than we do.”  -Heroes star Hayden Panettiere said in a statement yesterday.

Hayden recently joined animal rights activists and went to a protest against Japanese dolphin hunting.  There's video of it here.  Love Hayden Panettiere!!
