jonny depp brought his dogs

[amalan11]

I am appauled this has happened. Apparently  he brought both on his private plane without declaring them and so avoiding quarantine. It looks like he will be allowed to  send them home rather than being destroyed but I really  think he should cop a  massive fine .I cannot  believe  that  he was  unaware that  we do not allow them 

I  hope they are healthy 

He has really lost my support on this although  apparently 2000 pepople have signed a change petition  to allow them to stay....IDIOTS

[*mrgrizz*]

just wait until they find his parrots

Well,Barnaby can talk till he's red in the face...

I can't see what it has to do with Johnny Depp. Take your anger out at our customs people if indeed there IS a problem. 

Private jet or not, he would still have to clear customs.

He does, with the redness usually assisted by alcohol on the job.

Depp failed to declare his dogs to customs authorities when he and his wife, Amber Heard, returned to Queensland by private jet last month.

i wonder how he managed to sneak them in.

The only concern I've ever seen going state to state is fruit, vegies and fish.  I've taken/sent dogs, cats, rabbits and chooks without any concern from quarantine.  The fish was the most ludicrous situation. They were killed and I was handed back the tank, including the water dregs, gravel and snails.

That must be a Qantas rule because dogs are allowed to move freely from one state to another.  To enter Tasmania they are supposed to have a hydatids before entering although I've never been questioned about that nor asked for proof.

My daughter used to fly regularly from Melbourne to Tassie with her dog, and I sent my **bleep**es in season to be mated in other states, and traveled to shows, and from every litter I bred I sent some pups interstate.  However, there were some talks about airlines refusing to transport some breeds, which have health problems, such as pugs and other brachycephalic breeds.  Not sure why lab would be on the list; unless they have heart problems?
