Hollywood star Johnny Depp will have his two pet dogs seized by Australian authorities and possibly put down after he failed to declare them on the an in-flight manifest.
The Department of Agriculture is investigating Depp after it emerged he was currently in Australia with his two Yorkshire terriers.
Officers from the Department of Agriculture have issued Depp and Heard with 48-hours notice to either remove the dogs voluntarily from the country or have them seized.
Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said this morning the two pooches needed to return home.
“It doesn’t matter if Johnny Depp has been awarded sexiest man alive twice, it’s time Boo and Pistol bugger off home,” Mr Joyce said.
“Mr Depp has to either take his dogs back to California or we’re going to have to euthanise them,” he added.
Depp, 51, and his wife, actor and model Amber Heard, 29, flew back into Australia last month so he could resume filming on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales on the Gold Coast.
The couple flew into Brisbane on a private jet and were accompanied by their pets.
But the dogs were not declared as entering Australia under normal requirements and so will be seized by authorities and either shipped back to the US or euthanised.

Wow. American politicians, take heed.
Taking animals or plants that may harbor pathogens into virgin territory is just a bad idea.
If Biden goes to Australia, will he be quarantined?
So, if they execute Depp and Herd, what happens to the dogs?
Australia would do well to quarantine Johnny Depp as well. Most of those Hollyweirdos probably have a disease of some kind, either physical or mental.
Oh no question. Not to mention travel cna be really stressful and difficult on animals. Especially certain kinds. I could never take my guys on a plane.
Yeah, I know. I JUST DON’T GIVE A DAMN!
LOL
>>> If Biden goes to Australia, will he be quarantined?
I reckon they’d just pat him on his big ole head & send him harmlessly along his way.
Be pretty cool if somebody’d strap him up in one of those anti-bark shock collars, tho. Might save the rest of us Murikans a bit of embarrassment.
