Hayden Panettiere may play an invincible cheerleader on “Heroes,” but the 19-year-old actress/activist risked life and limb last October when she paddled out to a cove in Taiji, Wakamaya, Japan to protest the hunting of dolphins. She’s partnered with Socialvibe in efforts to raise funds for The Whaleman Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting dolphins, whales, and their ocean habitat. Check out this video.
