The Water, normally a beautiful blue, is turned red by the blood of the innocent animals. A group of 7 surfers sit on the rocks some with their heads in their hands, and others literally shaking with tears. An angry japanese fisherman yells what are probably obscenities at a news camera filming every second of the horrific event.
This was the scene in a small fishing town on the coast of japan, where Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and a group of surfers attempted to stop the slaughter of dolphins by japanese fishermen. She and the others paddled out on their boards attempting to some how help the animals whose blood had not yet been spilled. However the fishermen would have none of it, they used the propellers of their boats and long prods to fend of the surfers until the group finally had to leave or be arrested.
Now I am not really an animal rights person, I eat meat and think that testing on animals when done in order to learn is acceptable. However this display was disgusting, this was unnecessary cruelty to these intelligent animals and something needs to be done about it. There must be some other way for these fishermen to make there living, some more human and acceptable fashion to kill the dolphins. I am not even saying that they should stop killing the dolphins, if that is the only way that they have to make there living then I am in no position to judge them. However herding the dolphins to their death, taking large spear like objects and slicing them and spilling so much blood that the water turns red is no way to do this.

ahhh...... i love Hayden...
I totally agree. It's ridiculously unnecessary and sadistic. They should pass legislation in order to secure protection for the dolphins.
This is horrible that the fisherman refuse to do anything to help but it is good that certain people are trying to make an effort.
