Johnny Depp, Amber Heard face death-row wait for pet dogs after dodging Australian quarantine

Note, the dogs almost certainly will not be euthanised - unless they show signs of illness, Australian authorities generally allow people to remove their animals back to their country of origin at their own expense. But we have quarantine laws for a reason.

[DoughtyOne]

Reasoned or not, Australia has every right to devise the laws that address border issues. Outsiders should respect them.

If you disagree, don’t put your animal’s life on the line simply because you say you “Love them”.

Idiots...

Okay, but why are you going to kill Johnny and Amber?

[Lurker]

Why not?

The guy is worth half a billion dollars, at least until he gets divorced. He could sent them back to France or where ever he lives now on a private jet each and have them sleep in a doggie mansion with 24 hour minders. He’s almost Clinton rich.

Rules are only for the little people. These things are well understood here in ObamaLand.

I love doggies. Because I love doggies I have to side with the Australian authorities on this.

I lost an entire litter of champion line Doberman Pinscher pups to Parvo because a dimwit thought that quarantines were for other people.

I have no problem with Australia’s laws regarding this issue.

[trisham]

That’s heartbreaking. I’m so sorry.

Government in action. Hundreds of thousands of filthy, diseased, murderous, throwback moslems who wipe with their hand and have never seen a toilet flood in. Jungle people from the Solomon islands fill boats and wander in. Government is utterly paralyzed and cannot decide what to do.

But let two of the best cared for yorkies on the planet arrive, dogs that have never probably walked off of carpet, and watch government swing into merciless action.

Typical

It was bad. The infected dog was a show dog and managed to infect just about every other dog there that day. Wiped out quite a few breeding lines completely.

I was lucky in that I didn't lose my female.

“And when did he develop that silly french? accent”

The best guess is probably after living in France for 20 years.

Known poeple whe transplanted to NYC a loooong time ago and still dont sound like me :)

Are you aware of Australia’s current approach to ‘asylum seekers’?

In particular the fact that no boat arrivals have been allowed to even get to Australia for well over a year now? Instead the boats are turned back, or if that isn’t practical, the people are sent to off shore detention centres.

Our government is doing a lot more to try and keep inappropriate people out than most countries. It’s a bit easier for us because we don’t have a large land border to worry about (much easier to secure the seas than that is).

It’s not a perfect process but it’s not bad.

It’s one of the hazards of entering the show ring, sadly.
