They do things like
this. Hayden Panettiere (Claire from Heroes) felt the need to go out with an animal rights group and save some dolphins. I have no problem with this, good for her she has interests outside acting.
My problem is that she was actually out in the middle of the ocean with the group cutting dolphins out of nets from Japanese fishermen.
I mean I like how she's using her popularity and money for good causes, but is it really neccesary to do this?
From the AP story:
"Fishermen on a boat approached the activists and ordered them to leave, shoving some of them with a long pole. An angry fisherman later shouted in the face of one of the protesters on the road above the cove. There did not appear to be any injuries."
"This baby stuck its head out and kind of looked as us, and the thought that the baby is no longer with us is very difficult," Panettiere, who stars in the NBC show "Heroes," said after coming ashore."'
Hayden, I know your young, and that you've had a lot of success before your 19th birthday, BUT, you're an actress...leave the nutso activism to aging hippies and actors with no career (e.g. Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr.).
