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.

Thanks for posting this, I’m glad people have a chance to see it.
I know the Japanese have alot of people to feed but I find this sick and disturbing, esspecially since dolphins are intelligent and most likely know what is happening to them =(

And Jesus crying because of a Dolphin dying she must be in frigging tears everyday cause i can tell you right now that unless she does it for every single dolphin then she is doing it for attention.
Finally I’ve seen better constructed plans on the back of a cereal box “Lets surf out there until they poke us with sticks and we run home crying

Killing dolphins is wrong especially because it in such an inhumane way. You can tell that they know this because they keep it hidden and have tried to keep it a secret. I hope this will end soon.

I agree that favoring an animal because it is cute or something is wrong. But this slaughter is particularly wrong since these people kill the dolphins in such a painful way when they could have a quick death.

Easy. Just try being Vegetarian/Vegan. All animals are the same. Some people like bugs/insects, some sea creatures, some mammals, some reptiles/amphibians.. Warm blooded/Cold blooded. It’s all the same. Any which way we know what’s right. We know the right way of treating animals/creatures. Look. In any scenario.. Like the one shown. If it is challenging to change some person/persons thinking of animals/creatures. Do most of us a favor and “KILL” them quick. This issue is going to take some time to solve. During the time being. I think it’s better if the animal/creature “properly treated”. “KILL” it fast. That’s it.

but what she did and what shes saying to the media is just shit stupid
why is it the japaneses` fault?
huh??
its their job, and like what someone said up there,
if youre guna go all the way to japan to save an animal from being slaughtered, then she should go to slaughterhouses here that kill other animals too like cows, horses, chickens, etc.
theyre not killed ay nicer than the dolphins in japan.
dont blame aything on japan,
think of it from the fisherman`s point of view,
not just haydens
haydens not thinking from their point of view, so its really not fair to the fisherman.
if shes gunna ruin japans reputation like this,

you are a bunch of hypocrites!!!
so it’s ok to kill cows and chikens but killing dolphins is wrong because they are intelligent ????
you are the ones who should burn in hell, and I´m not even japanese, but I’m a vegeterian and I would like a good reason for why killing chikens and cows is right but killing dolphins is wrong, and not the one that dolphins are more intelligent than other animals because as far as I’m concerned all animal feel pain equaly, and humans are probably the dumbest of all animals…

Killing animals for consumption and commercial trade is already cruel of mankind. Its not about being hypocritical because there are farmers all over the world breeding and raising cows, chicken, pigs, sheep, etc
On the other hand, marine mammals are being slaughtered for commercial trade (when its not even an essential part of Japanese culture and tradition) by the Japanese fishing industry and the lie about it by saying its all in the name of ’scientific research’. As a vegetarian, I am against the slaughtering of any animal for human consumption simply because humans have an advantage (technology and weapons) over other animals. Non-vegetarians/vegans who oppose Japanese commercial whaling and slaughtering of marine mammals are not hypocritical because it is not a tradition for both parties (Japan stopped commercial whaling since 1905, but only resumed recently by saying its for scientific research) to consume whales and other marine mammals (eg. dolphins). Moreover if it was really a tradition, the IWC would allow the Japanese fishing industry to hunt for whales under the “Aboriginal Exception”, clearly it is not a tradition in Japan, while Inuits are allowed to hunt whales as long as the amount doesn’t exceed what is required for survival and doesn’t increase the burden upon marine mammals – hence it is not a cultural attack or ignorance towards the Japanese tradition for supporting anti-whaling and the ending of slaughtering of marine mammals. If it was from an environmental point of view, supporters of anti-whaling and the killing of dolphins are not hypocrites because they are endangered and the numbers are decreasing. The Japanese fishing industry is poor at utilizing their live-stock and marine resources effectively – recently over-fishing the already endangered blue fin tuna in the Southern Oceans (over the quota by 1500 tonnes) – whaling and killing of marine mammals are their only hope of reviving the dying Japanese fish industry. To only kill without any concern over extinction of marine mammals is ignorance of the weakness of mother-nature, the scientific studies of the birthrate of marine mammals and other man-made factors that are already severely damaging marine life. Commercial whaling and slaughtering of marine mammals is only increasing the burden and the chances of extinction.

Damn it, people need to respect cultures and the way everyone is raised. Everyone in the US is born and learns that dolphins are nice sweet and caring and cute. But in Japan it can be different you know? Just because we think its wrong, its not wrong to them, its just like us. Because one person sees something being done wrong we automatically assume it is. But its the way we are born and raised. People need to respect the fact that everyone comes from a different enviroment and a different community. Its just maybe Japan is taking advantage of the culture fact, but in the end, let karma do its thing yo.

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.

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.

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 :(

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.

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…
