Panettiere and Klitschko visit Taiji dolphin hunt town
The Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere and boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko visited Taiji, Japan to urge an end to the dolphin hunt. They were blocked at the town hall while advocates sought dialogue and possible tourism alternatives. Panettiere said she could be a spokesperson if Taiji stops the hunt and noted Taiji is a beautiful place with wildlife. Authorities and fishermen defend the practice as a long-standing tradition, while activists cite mercury concerns in dolphin meat and moral objections.
