From E! News:

Hayden Panettiere’s heroic dolphin-saving mission last month wasn’t without its consequences. “I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan,” the Heroes star told E! News exclusively Wednesday. “We just found out.”

Well, that’s a little too casual of a reaction for an arrest warrant from a country that has giant robots and Godzilla. Be afraid, Hayden! Astroboy can fire bullets from his ass!

Panettiere, 18, was part of a convoy of activists from the U.S. and Australia who on Oct. 30 paddled out on surfboards to protest the annual slaughter of dolphins and whales by Japanese fisherman.

Heroes, hippies, or both? YOU DECIDE!

After returning to shore, the group headed directly to Osaka and left the country to avoid being arrested for trespassing by the Japanese national police. When asked what the arrest warrant could mean, Panettiere replied, “Potentially jail, but I doubt it.”

“We’re Americans and Australians! Your puny Asian laws mean nothing! NOTHING!”

And the actress isn’t letting a little thing like a warrant keep her from her cause. “I’d do it again,” she said. “Very possibly, might do it again.”

Had too much fun breaking the law, eh? “Weee!” and all that jazz? Righteous.

“We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises. We can no longer hide behind outdated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet’s resources and the extinction of our species.”

Take that, Japan! Western activism > stupid Eastern traditions

Seriously, I’m all for protecting the environment. And I do think that what Japanese fishermen are doing should stop, but brushing off an arrest warrant like it’s some sort of joke? Come on. You can be more mature than that, “hero”.

She’s still hot, though. That hippie.
