Hayden Panettiere at Save the Whales Again! Rally in Washington, DC
Today I am pleased to bring you a guest post from my good friend, Liane (AnnieB). She attended the “Save the Whales Again!” festivities over the weekend in Washington, DC and had the pleasure of meeting Hayden Panettiere.
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the Save the Whales Again! rally in Washington DC with Hayden Panettiere. This is a wonderful cause that aims to eliminate commercial whaling and other dangers to whales and dolphins. These magnificent creatures are what is known as a barometer species; this means that their health is used to measure the overall health of our oceans. There are currently many dangers facing oceanic mammals, and it is crucial that we act now to prevent further damage. If our oceans are unhealthy, our planet is unhealthy.
Hayden is an excellent spokesperson for this wonderful cause. Not only is she passionate about protecting whales and dolphins, but she is extremely knowledgeable about the issues and she articulates her points very well. I was blown away by her professionalism and dedication to this cause. She took questions from the crowd and answered them intelligently and succinctly. If that whole acting thing doesn’t work out for her, she could have an amazing political career. 
I was able to spend some time talking with her and she really is a very nice and down to earth person.
