Hayden Panettiere's Final Act: The PETA Ad Stirring Emotions

One of Hayden Panettiere’s final acts was a selfless one, standing up for animals in an ad filmed “weeks” before her tragic death.

The campaign for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) features the “Nashville” actress stripped down and laying in a bathtub as she advocates against dolphins and whales being kept “in tiny tanks at marine amusement parks.”

“Imagine spending your entire life in a bathtub,” she says, comparing what the aquatic mammals must feel like in captivity not free to swim in their “ocean homes” where they’re “free to be with family and other pod members.”
