Peter Fonda apologizes after calling for 'drone attacks' on Japanese fishermen

Yesterday, actor Peter Fonda went off on Japanese fishermen, calling for “drone attacks with Hellfires” to stop the annual Taiji dolphin hunt.

@PegsKatzencats we hit the murderers in their boats LONG before they are near the dolphins

Fonda’s remarks must not have gone over well with some people, and this afternoon, he tweeted an apology:
