Late last year, Hayden Panettiere (the petite blond cheerleader from Heroes) was issued an arrest warrant in Japan after joining with an animal rights group and actively protesting the “brutal and unnecessary slaughter” of marine mammals. The actress risked her life defending these dolphins, and, in the process, has drawn a lot of attention to her cause.
Hayden has stayed in touch with Japanese officials, and very recently was given full permission by Japanese Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura to return anytime she wanted. Hayden said, “I think they did it (issue an arrest warrant) to pretty much scare us from coming back. I went and had a meeting with the Foreign Minister and he said I was welcome anytime. Very kind man. Very welcoming, and he said I was his most welcome guest, so there’s a shocker.”
Think for just a second about that — Hayden Panettiere, who isn’t even 20 years old, not only joined other activists in protesting something she believes in, but she took the initiative to meet with the Japanese Foreign Minister to try to make it right. I can’t wait to see what this girl has up her sleeve in the next few years!
