Authorities in Japan have issued an arrest warrant for Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere for her activist protest in Taiji waters last month over the killing of dolphins and whales.

On Oct. 30, Panettiere joined other activists in paddling on surfboards into a cove near Taiji in southwestern Japan, in an attempt to interfere with a dolphin hunt there. The incident drew worldwide attention when video of it – including footage of Panettiere weeping on shore after being turned back – reached the Internet.

Hayden said she would do it again and hinted that she might actually have plans already to do so.  It is refreshing to have arrest news about a celebrity that doesn’t involve a DUI, assault or probation violation.
