Hayden Panettiere protested against marine parks shortly before her death

Actress Hayden Panettiere actively campaigned against the captivity of dolphins and whales in marine parks shortly before her death. In an advertisement released by the animal rights organization Peta, Panettiere is seen in a bathtub advocating for animal welfare. The spot was produced in late July 2023 and is part of a campaign against facilities like SeaWorld.

In the video, Panettiere discusses how the public can collectively put an end to the captivity of these animals in marine parks. Peta emphasizes the importance of fighting for the animals' well-being, especially considering the circumstances that lead to the cessation of their captivity.

The release of the advertisement and Panettiere's involvement were apparently perceived as a significant contribution to animal rights following her death. Peta used social media to highlight the spot and further spread Panettiere's message.
