Hayden Panettiere Dolphin Saving Tiji, Japan Video
Hayden Panettiere was recently in Tiji, Japan to save Dolphins. Some thirty activists, including the ‘Heroes’ beauty, formed a floating circle on surf boards offshore near the coastal village of Taiji, where thousands of dolphins are slaughtered at a cove in Taiji every year.

You go girl. Usually there is nothing on the tv worth watching, but you are a true Hero. I was moved to tears with you. But you need to be in it for the long haul too. You are a role model for the younger generation on how to conduct self in a honorable way. And just because it is a cultural thing does not make it right. We thought slavery was right. In Africa most countries thinks is fine to cut off womens private parts, and hey in India they used to throw the wife on the fire when the husband died, so just cause cultures do it, don't mean it aint half assed backward. Those who swim with dolphins abide by the rules, no touching, and they sleep at certain times in the am, to be molested by our species puts them in danger to sharks at night. All animals deserve our respect, so endeavor to cut back on eating them.
Hasta la Victoria, Siempre
Venceremos,
Please support the Sea Shepherds they do amazing work and risk their lives daily to save our earth.

Why did they think it would be a good idea to go and protest these Japanese fisherman, who didn't even understand why they where there?
There is a much better way to save the world than to go and disrupt Japanese fisherman, who are just doing what they do everyday, not understanding why the hell these rude Americans are trying to keep them from doing their jobs.
It would make much more sense to try and reason with the Japanese government than to do what they did.

I'm impressed by the people that are standing up for what they believe is right. Yes, dolphins are killed when we get tuna, but that's not on purpose! Hayden and all other environmental groups are helping spread the word about the injustice that is being done to the poor HELPLESS animals that need our help!! Just because you might not be brave enough to stand up for what is right doesn't mean that everyone else should just sit there and let it happen!! It's good that people like Hayden and other celebrities are getting out there and letting people know whats really going on so that something can be done about it!! Way to go!! and if I could I would do the exact same thing! it may be part of their culture, but it's torture and NO ONE wants to be stabbed to death…

the reason why killing dolphins is such a controversy is that they are going into extinction. but we know that we have to limit the amount of cattle we kill each year and we raise caffs to keep a balance.

i can't believe in these times, 2009, these progressive, enlightened times, that a living organism is daring to kill another living organism. That's not the enlightened thing to do, we need more million dollar actresses and fewer barbaric Japanese dolphin killers!

This is ridiculous. Dolphins are considered the most intelligent animals on earth (bar humans), so why are they being slaughtered like mindless animals?? Something has to be done.
Sarah, although the fishermen may not like what they do, they still have the ability to make a moral choice. There must be other ways to make a living. After seeing that pool of blood, I don't know how they can justify something so atrocious.
I'm fast losing my faith in humanity :(

They're all just going to get mercury poisoning from eating the meat. Also, its bad enough that they do this but they use such violent methods to do it as well.

You really need to see the movie (http://www.thecovemovie.com) before jumping to all these conclusions. This is not a matter of save the cute dolphins vs. cows and chickens. These are the issues with Taiji:
1. Dolphins are highly toxic, filled with mercury, the Taiji government is feeding dolphin meat to the Japanese people labeled as "whale". The Japanese people do not even know this is happening to them!
2. The method of killing the dolphins are not within the guidelines of the International Whaling Commission. Also,we're talking about a handful of fisherman, less than 40. It's not like this towns economy is dependent on this kind of job.
3. The "lucky" dolphins get picked by animal trainers to be put on display in aquatic theme parks for the amusement of humans. This is such a waste! These animal suffer there as well. They are under such a great deal of stress to perform they are often ill and suffer from ulcers despite the act the public sees. These animals need to be left alone in the wild.

wow. you people.
did anyone hear know that male dolphins kill their own offspring in order to mate with female dolphins again just because female dolphins wont mate when they have a baby… what a revolting sea creature.
Also dolphins kill porpoises for practice and fun… so um, dolphins aren't all fun and shit.. they are smart, but don't let the happy fun go lucky shit fool you. i don't say its right to kill them, but there is plenty to go around and those fucker dolphins aren't innocent as they seem.
americans need to keep their fat obese asses out of other countries business especially fake snotty whores like Hadyen Panettifuck her name. what one country does is their business. I dont see them stealing and killing american citizens when they go over to Japan…naw, american's like to cause drama and shit for other countries.. equality for all when america is really rotting to the core with all their own problems. why don't american people start working on their own problems before messing with other countries?
Why doesn't hayden pattereariujfeadretard girl try and stop all the puppy mills in america? or the horse slaughtering that happens? or the abuse of cows? hmm….. or the chickens that have to be cooped up and shit on themselves? nope. cuz she lacks the capacity to use her damn brain…

i just watched the movie The Cove, totally sick and disterbing, and i cried in my own living room, i dont blame hayden for crying actually being there and hearing and seeing those poor animals and feeling totally helpless… this is wrong on so many levels and if you havnt seen the movie you should, and i think that if your judging someone on the fact that they are only saving the dolphins and not the puppies, cows, chickens, gophers, rats, whatever else there may be, how about you take a look in the mirror and judge yourself. at least she is doing something… even if its a failed attempt, she tried, what have you done about what you believe in besides judging other people?

Umm… everyone is really angry at each other on here. I think we can all agree: Not to reason why, just stop killing the dolphins.

Honestly, all of you people who are saying "BECOME VEGETARIAN/VEGAN!" are morons. We, as humans, are omnivores. Yes, we can survive without meat, does that mean we should? No. Does that mean people will stop eating meat just because they can? No. Do you think you are really making THAT much of a difference? News flash. You aren't. If you don't eat it, someone else will. Do you see the other carnivores and omnivores stopping their natural ways? Of course not. They are nature. They are innocence. They are pure. All of them, save humans. Humans are the most disgusting race on the face of the planet. Hands down.
Do I think it is humane to kill animals of any sort in these barbaric ways or support it? Of course not. I love animals just as much as the next person, but that does not stop me from eating meat. But I am well aware of the fact that it will not change. Wake up, because you are just wasting your energy.
Everyone is being hypocritical. The world would be a better place if we were primitive, but it just so happens that we aren't. And there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it but worry about yourself and your actions. You can't change people places or things, so stop trying because your efforts are futile. Give it up, because those of us who are in our right minds and understand the circumstances will not take your crap and don't want to hear it. You're preaching to the choir.

This is NOT the same thing as killing a chicken or a fish OR a cow! Dolphins have emotion and they weren't just killing it like most animals we eat but they were TORTURING IT! Dolphins sometimes do miracles and save peoples lives! Havent any of you heard any stories of that? And Hayden cried because of seeing ALL of those dolphins dying and being passionate about animals and feeling helpless she cried for them… seriously.. How heartless and MESSED UP can lots of you be! Is there any hope in this world… everyone GET A CLUE! Use ur brain for once be compassionate!

when all of you stop eating fast food burgers and finally take an ethnic studies class, make a reasonable statement. "do not support asian countries" is the most ignorant statement someone can post. If you're down to not support asia stop buying asian cars, eating jasmine rice, and buying things manufactured in china. that means wal mart kids. hell, might as well stop talking to all asian people in the US right!? hell no. fuck you.

mmmm meat. Fuck all of you that says killing animals for food is idiotic. What the hell do you think has been going on since organisms first appeared on this world? Animals eat other animals, some eat only meat, others eat only fruit and vegetables. Humans have ALWAYS been omnivores. What’s next after protesting for humans to stop hunting/killing/farming animals? Protest that lions should stop hunting other animals? Stop sharks from doing the same? Seriously? This shit is getting ridiculous.
I would say that 3/4 of you shits don’t even realize the crap that goes on in your OWN country. More dolphins and whales are killed by U.S fishing companies than probably these people that Panetittifuck protested against. Why not protest against the U.S.A’s own practice before attacking another country’s culture? They have been doing this for years, probably longer than the U.S.A being around.
As for all those that talk about it’s not being the same as killing a fish, here’s my question for you. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW THAT IT’S NOT THE SAME? Are you a scientist that has cracked the animal language? How do you know that these other animals have no feelings? Really? As far as I can tell, cows do HAVE feelings. Cows have also saved people, and has been known to create attachments to their owners. Same with any animal. Fish have been known to show intelligence.
Oh, and LMFAO at the idiots saying “stop supporting asian countries”. Might as well toss out almost all those electronics that you own. Oh and your sneakers, clothes, cars, and about a thousand or more other stuff you probably use daily. As that other guy said, might as well stop talking to any asian person as well. Might as well go back to the days where being a white supremist was all the rage.
Oh and btw, the Sea Shepherd that you guys are all proud about has been classified by MANY countries as being pirates. Hell the captain has like 10 outstanding arrest warrants on his head and has been banned from entering one or two countries. Way to be proud of a criminal.
Oh and this is for Jules from January 21, 2009. Guess what? People do kill other people as their job. What the fuck do you think the army/navy/air force/ANY MILITARY ORGANIZATION is? Volunteer work? All commissioned officers and lifelong soldiers are basically contract killers. They kill people as their job.
All these idiots that say that killing dolphins is morally wrong needs to get their views adjusted on their own country. Why is one animal put on a higher pedestal than any other? If you are a true animal lover, than ALL ANIMALS should be equal, but of course only the ideal person would be able to do that. The rest that pretend to be animal lovers and activists are just hypocrites. Enjoy your hypocritical life people.
I, for one, disagree with the killing of animals in suck violent and painful ways, but being the omnivore that I am, I will never stop eating meat. There are humane ways to kill them, and there are torturous ways to doing so. I would never go against the culture of another culture just because my own culture thinks it is morally wrong. That would be the same as declaring that their entire culture is a mistake….oh wait most “christians” do that about religion anyway, and I bet those people are also these “activists”

And when I say “Christians” I mean the people that swears on their life that they are true Christians, but in truth barely ever follows what their own religion suggests/dictates what they should really be doing…like NOT judging another religion. Again, enjoy your hypocritical views/lives, because you are proving to everyone that you are just a dumb shit with VERY narrow views. I thought that period of time was supposed to have been over. It’s the 2k decade. Widen your views and stop being so hypocritical.
