Hayden Panettiere is at it again...defending animals that is. The spunky starlet, who you may remember tried to disrupt the annual Japanese dolphin slaughter a few years back, recently halted production on the Heroes set when some birds were blasted out of a tree by a gigantic leaf blower.

Hayden was reportedly furious and shouted at the crew member saying, "What are you doing? How would you like someone to blow that thing inside your house?" Indeed! Imagine you're just sitting around at home and all of a sudden you're hit with a huge hurricanesque gust of wind from some scary gigantic cannon-like thing that flings you out of your house. Awful.

Sources report that after Hayden spoke up filming of that scene was relocated. Well done, Hayden! Thank goodness she's not afraid to speak her mind, and you shouldn't be either. Any time you witness someone mistreating an animal in any way—speak up! If you're too nervous to actually speak to the person, you can always hand them a leaflet, but remember, do something, otherwise things will never change.
