Hayden Panettiere is a real-life hero — to dolphin lovers anyway.

The actress, 18, was scolded and shoved with a long pole by fishermen as she and six other animal rights activists tried to interfere in a dolphin hunt in the southwestern Japanese town of Taiji Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

No one was injured.

The fishermen insisted hunting dolphins is a Japanese custom and Panettiere and co. had no business interfering.

Try telling that to the actress.

"This baby stuck its head out and kind of looked as us," Panettiere said after coming ashore. "The thought that the baby is no longer with us is very difficult."
