Washington (ANI): American actress Hayden Panettiere has been honoured with an activism award by the Hollywood Office of the Humane Society of the United States, for her active protest against the annual dolphin slaughter in Southwestern Japan last year.
Panettiere was awarded the Gretchen Wyler Award, which is given annually at the Genesis Awards to a celebrity who brings attention to animal causes. Wyler, who founded the awards and was also an actress, died of breast cancer in May 2007, just two months after presenting the first award to Paul McCartney.
