Hayden Panettiere honored at the Genesis Awards
Even though I had a few bones to pick with Hayden Panettiere's green ways, it can't be denied that she's brought a lot of attention to a good cause -- saving the dolphins and whales in Japan from inhumane slaughter. And last night she was honored for that work at the 2008 Genesis Awards.The Genesis Awards was started to honor people in the media who bring attention to animal protection issues. Hayden received the Wyler Award.
The Wyler Award is a biggie, named after Broadway actress and animal actress Gretchen Wyler. She passed away last year. Paul McCartney was the previous winner of the award which is given to a celebrity who works towards calling attention to animal issues.
The Hollywood Office of The Humane Society of the United States, who sponsored the awards, released a statement saying, "We feel Hayden is a very worthy successor to Sir Paul McCartney, last year's Wyler Award recipient. She's an inspiring example to her generation, using her compassion, courage and celebrity to help animals in a very effective way."
