Environmental Activism in Japan

On October 31, 2007, Panettiere was involved in a violent confrontation with Japanese fishermen when she tried to disrupt the annual dolphin hunt in Taiji, Wakayama.

Panettiere confronted them on a surfboard, accompanied by other Protestants from Australia and the United States, including actress Isabel Lucas, in order to prevent them from catching and hunting a school of dolphins, but they were intercepted by the fishermen before achieving it. The fishermen used their propellers to prevent the surfers from approaching and thus force them to return to the beach, from where they were taken to the Osaka airport and taken out of the country to avoid being detained by the Japanese police. This act was seen by some Japanese as an attack on their culture and, according to the Taiji Fishing Industry Cooperative Union, the protesters "misrepresent the facts about this fishing industry." For his part, Hayden demands that the hunting of dolphins be banned in Japan.

In November 2007, the animal rights group PETA awarded an award, "Compassion in Action," to Hayden Panettiere, for his efforts to prevent dolphin hunting in Japan. (See PETA page).

On December 9, 2014 Panettiere and Klitschko were the parents of a girl.
