Hayden Panettiere Blogs About New Taiji Slaughter
October 30, 2009 by Grace
“I’m writing this with a heavy heart.” That’s how Hayden Panettiere begins her guest post at The Vibe as she learns that a pod of 50 pilot whales were slaughtered again this week in Taiji, Japan. Hayden’s heart must be torn to pieces right now, and to think this happened on the anniversary of her trip to Taiji!
“The images and horrible memories of that day are now flooding back into my mind like some sadistic nightmare version of Groundhog Day.”
Hayden learned the news from Leslie-Ann Gervais, who personally witnessed the brutality done to the whales. Here is an excerpt –
When I arrived the fisherman had already killed about half the pilot whales and I watched helplessly as they killed the rest including the babies… there are no words to describe how I feel… We have to stop this!!!”
This is serious and just so cruel for people to kill whales and dolphins! Something really has to be done. Hayden is appealing to all of us to sign the petition to stop commercial whaling and to support the Whaleman Foundation. The signatures are a long way from reaching 1 million, and Hayden needs our help.

The tragedy at Taiji, Japan shows the ignorance and arrogance of people tied a to tradition that will, in time, be harmfull to future generations. This includes the poor policy by the United States with reguards the slaughter of blue whales along the West Coast.
Where at on the West coast?
