SYDNEY (AFP): Johnny Depp's pet dogs Pistol and Boo face being put down unless they are sent back to Hollywood after he brought them into Australia illegally on his private jet.
The actor, who is in the country to film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", was given the grim warning by Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce on Thursday.
"Just because he's Johnny Depp does not mean he's exempt from Australian law," Joyce told reporters.
Australia has strict animal quarantine laws to keep disease at bay, which Depp appears to have ignored, arriving in Brisbane last month with the Yorkshire terriers in tow without declaring them to customs.
