Hayden Panettiere in violent confrontation with dolphin hunters
Plenty of celebrity types talk the talk when it comes to going green -- making speeches about vegetarianism, or claiming to save the planet by driving hybrid Hummers around LA. But how many are actually working to make a difference?
Hayden Panettiere is one actress who's taking action. She recently joined five surfers on a mission to stop Japanese fishermen from catching and killing local dolphins.
Apparently the activists paddled out on surfboards towards a group of captured dolphins, but before they could get close enough to free the pod, Panettiere and her companions were stopped by fisherman -- who kept the surfers back using their boat's propellers, then hit them with a boathook.
In the end, the group was unable to save the dolphins -- but I'm sure Panettiere's fans are more aware of this issue today than they were before.
