Hayden Panettiere, star of the NBC hit show HEROES, made a bold stand against Japanese fishing practices. It's all over the Inside Edition and E! networks. The internet is buzzing about her heroic attempt at saving dolphins as they were to be cornered and killed in a cove surrounded with nets to block them their escape. Hayden was one member of the Save Japan Dolphin's coalition. The group is trying to stop the practice of slaughtering over an estimated 23,000 dolphins each year. The United States has condemned Japan for the offense, however like Hayden and the groups attempts, the unpopularity of the practice in the states has done little to sway the Japanese to stop. Angry fishermen stabbed at Hayden and the group members as they stood between them and the dolphins. Hayden was caught coming to shore sobbing and afterwards faced several hours of questioning by local law officials as the group reached a traffic stop. It is very disturbing to see such practices take place. Hayden was quoted as saying after the ordeal in the water " One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and kind of looked at me, and the thought that it's no longer with us is really difficult to take."
