Hayden Panettiere is a wanted women. Earlier this month ‘Heroes’ star Hayden Panettiere (18) was in Japan and took part in a protest against traditional Japan’s dolphin hunts. Hayden, was part of a convoy of activists from the U.S. and Australia who on Oct. 30 paddled out on surfboards to protest the annual slaughter of dolphins and whales by Japanese fisherman.
Immediately following the protest, Panettiere headed to the Osaka airport and hopped on a plane to return to the States, but just recently found out that warrant was issued for her in Japan for her part in the protest.
On Wednesday, she told E! News: “I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan.” “We just found out. It was really frightening,” Panettiere said at the time. “But in the end, all we really worried about was the dolphins.”
When asked what the arrest warrant could mean, Panettiere replied, “Potentially jail, but I doubt it.” Hayden said she was thrilled that the incident was receiving international attention, as it could result in educating others about the dolphins’ plight.
