Hot Momma Gossip

As we previously reported Hayden Panettiere, 18, was part of a group of activists from the U.S. and Australia who on Oct. 30 paddled out on surfboards to protest the annual slaughter of dolphins and whales by Japanese fisherman.  Well no good deed goes unpunished.  Her heroic dolphin-saving mission last month wasn’t without its consequences.

E! Online is reporting that there is an arrest warrant out for Hayden Panettiere’s arrest in Japan.  “I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan,” the Heroes star told E! News exclusively Wednesday. “We just found out.”

Her group attempted to reach a pod of dolphins before it was driven into a nearby cove and massacred, but they were blocked by a fishing boat before they could reach the sea creatures.

When asked what the arrest warrant could mean, Panettiere replied, “Potentially jail, but I doubt it.”

She said she was thrilled that the incident was receiving international attention, as it could result in educating others about the dolphins’ plight.

“In this town, you tend to be able to get publicity when you’re not wearing underwear or [you’re] in rehab,” Panettiere said.

“I was very excited that people were interested in what we did.”

And the actress isn’t letting a little thing like a warrant keep her from her cause. “I’d do it again,” she said. “Very possibly, might do it again.  I say good for her.

As we reported a few days ago here, Hayden Panettiere was in Japan for a “Save the Whales” gathering!   We have now learned there was some serious drama on the sea during her visit. 

Hayden paddled out on a surfboard with her companions  in an attempt to reach a pod of dolphins to stop them from being driven into a nearby cove and killed.  But the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were intercepted by a fishing boat before they could reach the dolphins.  (Japanese fisherman are well practiced at driving off “Dolphin Lovers”)

The fishermen used the boat’s propellers to block their way and at one point struck out with a boathook.  It was an ugly and potentially life-threatening confrontation that lasted more than 10 minutes before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. 
The surfers including Hayden drove straight to Osaka airport and left the country to avoid arrest by the Japanese national police.  All would likely have been charged with trespass, but Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles. More than 22,000 dolphins are slaughtered by fishermen in Japan every year.  I know this was probably a stupid thing to do in some ways, but I say good for Hayden!  Some passion for the important things in life exhibited by celebrities will always be welcome on this site.

Hayden Panettiere took some time out of her busy schedule to fly all the way to Tiji, Japan to take part in Dave Rastovich’s annual Dolphin & Whale Cove Peaceful Demonstration.  Hayden brought some of her friends along including Australian TV and movie star Isabel Lucas and Hanna Fraser (Hanna is in the mermaid costume).  This is a passion of Hayden’s, she is the campaign spokesperson for the global conservation campaign “Save the Whales Again! ” and has made many appearances on their behalf.
