Hayden Panettiere Launches Online Petition To Save Whales

Hayden Panettiere wants you to help her stop the slaughter of whales and dolphins around the world through a new online petition.

This week marks the one year anniversary of Panettiere’s trip to Taiji, Japan, to protest the dolphin slaughtering which resulted in her arrest. Now she has launched an exclusive petition with The Whaleman Foundation on SocialVibe.com – with the hope of collecting 1 million signatures.

“As my one-year anniversary trip to Japan to save the whales nears, I have decided to go about things a little differently,” she says on a new YouTube video. "This time around, I need everyone’s help. I am trying to gather 1,000,000 signatures on SocialVibe.com for the exclusive Whaleman Foundation petition. The goal is to stop all commercial whaling and lethal scientific research whaling by Japan, Norway, Iceland, and to enforce the current global whaling moratorium. This petition will be taken to the June 2009 meeting of The International Whaling Commission, where the petition will be personally delivered by me!

“Please take 2 minutes of your day to go to SocialVibe.com, sign up, pick Whaleman Foundation as your cause, and add SocialVibe to your MySpace, Facebook, blog, etc.

“While there please sign the Whaleman petition. That’s it. Please pass this video along to your family and friends. If we help each other out, we can do this! Thank you SO much!”
