The American actress Hayden Panettiere has denied a meeting with a mayor in Japan on Friday, when she joined a group of activists seeking to stop the annual hunt of dolphins.
The actress, who plays Claire Bennett in Heroes series, visited the town of Taiji, where every year takes place a massacre of dolphins.
She was accompanied by her companion, boxer Wladimir Klitschko, and requested a meeting with the mayor and representatives of unions of fishermen.
But the actress, who is spokesman for the Save the Whales Again!, Whose goal is to stop hunting dolphins is part disappointed when two guards were prevented from entering the hall.
She told the news agency Associated Press: “We are trying to find an agreement quietly and find better ideas to generate income for fishermen without using nature as that. We have already come to Taiji and is a beautiful place with wonderful wildlife. We just want to have a quiet interview with the mayor. ”
This is not the first time the actress went to Japan to campaign against a certain way to fish. In 2007, she joined the protesters and the local authorities had issued an arrest warrant against her.
