On Heroes, Hayden Panettiere's character seems like she's constantly dithering about whether to actually get out and do anything heroic. So, it's refreshing to know that in real life, she doesn't hesitate to wade out into a sea of dolphin carnage and intimidate Japanese whalers with her surfboard and irascible cuteness. Now, a year after nearly being arrested for protesting dolphin killings, Panettiere has joined with SocialVibe.com to rally support for the cause. She's urging fans to sign up on the social activism site and select the Whaleman Foundation as the charity of choice.
