Say It Ain't So! Arrest Warrant Out for Hayden?

HaydenAn arrest warrant has reportedly been issued in Japan for Hayden Panettiere. Last month the teen star swam on a surfboard with other activists to confront Japanese fisherman during a bloody dolphin hunt.

Hayden tells TMZ, "Obviously this issue has generated defensive behavior on the part of both the Japanese Authorities and Fishermen. I have grown up hearing – and adhering to – this phrase: 'condemnation without investigation dooms one to everlasting ignorance.' We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises. We can no longer hide behinid out-dated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet's resources and the extinction of our species. As a spokesperson for the 'Declare Yourself' campaign, I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to educate themselves on the candidates and their positions on environmental issues. Every generation has its own challenge; this is the challenge of our generation."

136. I gotta give props to Ms Panettiere for standing up for something so worthwhile, I also happen to agree with 130# Mare, and 124# Stacy!! The dolphins do not even swim in Japanese waters they are lured and dragged there... Sad.

They ( the fishermen ) say to the rest of the world it's our culture, but really what they mean to say is " It's our God given right and mission to make the Dolphins go the way of the Dodo"!! AND WHO ARE THEY TO SAY AND DO THAT?? NOBODY, Those sick fishermen deserve all the unwelcome interventions they get!!

138. Wiley 132# I think that you should read 129# , 130# and 131# because whilst you have some solid points, the rest sounds just as ignorant if not more so than anything the other commenters and Hayden has said or done!

139. She should be very scared. Jails in Japan are hell and inhumane. Foreigners do not get to have the police reports translated before they have to sign them and the courts will not acknowledge mistake in order to avoid loosing face, which is a serious matter for them.

How about eating, washing your self, and using the toilet handcuffed on your back all time. How about being forced to wear a restraint belt 24/7 for weeks. How about suffering from frost bites every winter.

She should stay away from Japan the rest of her life.

I don't think that she understand how severe these charges are.

140. Back in August the extinction of the Yangtze River Dolphin, otherwise knowing as the baiji, was confirmed. This is the first extinction of a large mammal in over 50 years.
In Greenland fishermen eradicated in a matter of 200 years a whale that's lifespan was around 200 years for its blubber.
There are currently 41,415 species on the endangered list. Last year the number added to the list was 188.

This has nothing to do with values or countries eating habits. This has to do with the fact that we live in an ecosystem. People talk about cows and lambs being eaten. Well, those are grown for that specific purpose. I am not arguing if it's right or wrong. Simply that their numbers cannot plummet to the endangered list. There are too many of them, in fact. Asians put bears in cages with tubes stuck inside them to get to their bile to use for sexual practices. This is cruel and unnecessary. None of us are innocent. However, it is our job to protect those on our planet who cannot speak for themselves. Otherwise, there will be nothing left except cows and sheep and dogs.

142. She is totally correct - people need to educate themselves about candidates & where they stand on environmental issues. Our planet and humanity are in serious danger. Make a fist!

143. Does anyone think that airhead actually wrote that "statement" herself???
No way she even knows the definition of half of those words, let alone be able to string them together like that.
That was the biggest laugh of the day so far.

By the way, let them eat dolphin. We eat cows everyday, and theyre a Hindu god. Do we care that we basically eat their Jesus by the ton? NO, so why should Japan care what we think. Americans have this elitist attitude of do as we say, not as we do.

144. Hey, everyone needs to read the whole story, not just what TMZ is "reporting" lol, yea right, Hayden amongst others were attacked by these so called fishermen for trying to stop the pod from going into a cove to be slaughtered. They were in a pool of blood. Hunting Dolphin in the US is illegal, they are protected. We have our cultures also. We have people all over the world that fight against fur, why not Dolphin? It has not been said what the purpose of killing these Dolphin were for. She has kudos from me for standing up for what she believes in!

145. OMG! There are people dying from war, famine, and diseases all over the world, and you guys are arguing about saving dolphins! Pick your battles.

146. ya, and im sure she really came up with that response. WHO IS SHE KIDDING. MEDIA WHORE. she is just using some stupid cause to get herself on the news. she could care less. BOO HOO the sushi I just ate came from a real dolphin. I never knew it before I got a TV show. she is a complete dumb ass. so is TMZ for putting this up as news.

148. This comment is first towards NO CHINESE FOOD 4 ME. You stated "ASIANS ACTUALLY EAT ANY ANIMAL ON THE PLANET !" For one that is so not true. I am half asian and resent that the fact you have to say that ALL ASIANS EAT ANY ANIMAL. Not ALL asians eat every animal. Yes, other asian countries may eat other animals, but if you knew any better it is sometimes consirded a delicality. I am no means condoning the pactice. You must be a racist to make such a statement. I would hate to see what you think of African Americans, Europeans who eat grasshoppers and othe odd things. People are brought up a certain way with different cultures. You need to grow up and accept that fact.

Now for the other thing on Hayden, I saw the video of the dolphins and it truely broke my heart to see what was happening. Japan is just trying to do something since they know they are wrong and want to punish Hayden for bringing it to the world's attention. People need to rally together and fight for these helpless creatures and stop these vicous killing of dolphins and any other endangered animal. We need to make a difference before it is too late. Keep up the great job Hayden and hopefully they will listen.
