Hayden Panettiere is in trouble with the law.  The Japanese law.

Panettiere, who plays the sweet cheerleader in NBC's "Heroes," apparently is a wanted woman in the eyes of Japanese law enforcement officials.

Japan has an issue with her protesting to save dolphins.

"I learned today that I have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan because of what I did for Save the Whales," Panettiere told E! Online.

While Japan really probably has no problem with her protesting, it seems officials did take issue with her joining other activists just before Halloween as hey paddled surfboards out into a cove in Japanese waters as a way to peacefully interfere with hunting there.

Despite the Japanese gunning for her, Panettiere says she will keep defying the law over and over if she has to.

"I'd do it again," she said. "I was very excited that people were interested in what we did. in [Hollywood], you tend to only get publicity for not wearing underwear or going to rehab."

NBC "Heroes" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT

I went to youtube it was boring and stupid and then I saw a video from China with cats being mutilated tortured and chopped up and having the heads sawed off with dull knives. I withstood maybe 40 seconds of it before I almost vomited and quickly clicked off.
It was in Re: to her Being a HERO to whales. You know what I gleaned from this ? People are sicker in other countries and that kind of animal mutilation is worse than any crazy perverted sex film I ever sold in my store.
Hayden ? Have you ever seen the film HOSTEL ? Stay in the USA please !

how could you seriously care about what she was wearing? this is one of the most terrible things ive ever seen. imagine: being somewhere where they were killing so many animals at once, the ocean water was turning red...its absolutely terrible and i think hayden should be awarded for what shes trying to do, not arrested. thousands of animals are killed every year for really no purpose at all...have we all gone crazy? we need to work together to save the animals, not kill them...
