Hayden Panettiere’s message to the world is to consider whales and dolphins as if they were canaries. The Heroes, star is rallying support for her online petition on socialvibe.com as she launched her ‘Save The Whales Again’ campaign recently.  She said:

“Whales and dolphins are like the canaries in the coal mines because they let you know when things are bad.”

Apparently the 19 year-old, also wants to spread awareness regarding the toxic nature of the meat of these sea creatures, after research has shown that whale and dolphin meat contain high amounts of Mercury and other contaminates making it unsafe for human consumption. She added:

“And it’s not just these animals we are trying to protect but the people consuming them. These people are unaware of how toxic it is to eat these animals because their governments are not telling them.”

“These animals are at the top of the food chain and they are eating all these fish that have all this mercury and toxins inside them. People are eating this meat and it’s causing them mental issues, physical ailments and children to be born with physical ailments.”
