Should Johnny Depp's dogs be put down?

Hitchens

They are two nice looking little dogs, not pit bulls or anything like that.

And their names are cute - Pistol and Boo, have a heart Australia!

No

No. But Mr Depp should ensure the passage of his pets from Oz asap. It's also his 100% his fault for placing the dogs in thus predicament.

BlaasForRafa

Australia is well known to have strict rules on the importation of animals. Depp chose to circumvent those rules so unless he gets the pooches out of Oz, yes they do deserve to be euthanized.

Just deport the animals immediately and fine Depp heavily. Nobody has to die here.

The fcuk does it matter if they are Johnny Depp's or Mary Jo Swanson Smith's dogs?

Quick someone inject this thread with that simpsons clip involving frogs and a renegade koala on a helicopter.

At the very least we could execute two Australians ourselves in a show of solidarity.

If he was an unsullied he would be given the choice of strangling his dogs personally, or being killed himself and fed to them.

If anyone deserves to die here, it's Johnny Depp.

Did I really just see an Australian official say on TV that the dogs should "bugger off back to America".

Thats the simple answer. This should have not even made into the public eye.

Johny you brought them over illegally, get them out. No more said about it.

The man in the video(from the op) is right.
Depp is silly here and putting his dogs at risk.

And wasn't that Hitler fella Australian too ?

The_Valeyard

Need to read thread better

"Should Johnny Depp be put down"

Was thinking, the last film I saw him in, wasnt that bad, at least give him one more chance!!!

Vojera

I hate to see any animal being put down unnecessarily, but Australia (and other countries like ourselves) have these rules for a reason, especially when the dogs have come from a rabies-endemic country like the USA, that just puts the lives and health of humans and other animals at risk.

Hopefully the dogs will just be removed ASAP, but if they end up being put down its no one's fault but Depp's.

The Backwards Man

At least he didn't try to bring them in a suitcase disguised as Chinese winegums like every other eejit seems to do.

Earthhorse

Deport the dogs. Then kill them. Teach that Depp fella a lesson.

Pumpkinseeds

The Australian authorities have no intention of euthanising his dogs. I am glad to see them apply the law to a celebrity. I did find the Agriculture Ministers statement that 'Pistol and Boo need to bugger off back to the United States' both refreshing and amusing.

No, they shouldn't be put down but it is every pet owners' responsibility to ensure they have all the correct documentation for their pets to travel. It kind of sounds to me like maybe he thought someone like him could get away with it.

No_Comply

Anyone who thinks killing two dogs over some red tape is a heartless imbecile.

I know there are laws and procedures he should've followed, but they're dogs for God's sake, not exotic creatures that will destroy their flora and fauna!

The dogs are there now. Just deport all three of them. Johnny Depp couldn't be that hard to find!

*cough*cute fluffy bunny rabbits *cough*

It is a simple procedure to get a Pet Passport for a dog. This shows that their vaccinations, including Rabies shots are up to date. Silly man deserves to lose the dogs.

It did raise the worrying thought that all Government officials there are like a cross between Jackie Healy Rae and Alf from Home and Away.

cml387

In fairness, he is a film star who is unwordly about these matters. Surely his PA or whatever should have organised it, I'm sure he has one and is being paid handsomely.

OK his last few films have been turkeys but he is a fan of the Fast Show and is an all round good bloke.

Maybe he should have said "toddle" back to America.

Or comported himself on global media like a government official instead of a drunk backpacker.

Or the dogs killed and feed to him, in a pie, like the film Sweeny Todd. To make up for giving us the film, Sweeny f'ing Todd.

He probably did, well...at least by Australian standards anyway.:D

Deport Depp and eat the dogs. No point in letting them go to waste.

Forget about the dogs the real story here is they are making another feckin Pirates of the Caribbean movie, talk about flogging a dead horse. At this stage they are flogging the dead horses skeleton and it is rapidly turning to dust!

Maybe they can put the dogs down and replace the dead horse's skeleton with the dogs' skeletons.

Anyone remember when Depp was cool? (ask your older brother/sister)

add and "Helena Bonham Carter" and "Directed by Tim Burton" and these days it's guaranteed garbage.

Yeah, I saw pictures of them, you can just tell by the look of those dogs that they are scumbags who knew exactly what they were up to, euthanisia is too good for the vile little fuckers, I demand torture.

He should be made clean up dog shite for a month over there.

If Australia or New Zealand ever get on the wrong side of terrorists they are screwed, no need to hijack planes or make bombs, just smuggle over 1 or 2 seeds in your pocket and drop them, from watching those border TV programs it will apparently be almost certain to cost the economy billions.

Hans Bricks

Australia has some daft laws in fairness. You simply lose some of your basic rights if you join a motorcycle club over there.

I'm puzzled, the story doesn't relate to the dogs being dangerous so what is your point? It sounds like you are saying that if the dogs were pit bulls, who "can be dangerous sometimes", they would deserve to be put down regardless of the background of the story.

"Nobody" will die.

They are not killing "anyone".

The issue is whether dogs will be killed. Seems a bit ott to me. But they are still dogs, not people, so words like "nobody" and "anyone " have no application.

RZoran

He lived in France or his private island for years so why so certain they are American dogs?

fin12

No but him and his wife so arrogant, thinking their above the law, just cause they're Celebrities. I'm glad this will be an inconvenience to him.

MRnotlob606

Australia likes deporting anything that would contaminate their culture.

I know people who have worked with him and said the guy is shy and quiet. He also has an assistant who would deal with this and when you fly in on a private jet you are still met by customs and immigration.

Ya really shy that's why he is the movie business and his also being travelling around the world for years, and also the same guy who compared rape to being photographed by the paparazzi. Seriously if his so shy he should retire to his private Island. All the rest of us have to obey the laws so why shouldn't he.

I never said he shouldn't have to obey but I would probably be investigating some starstruck customs & immigration agent instead of publicly threatening to put down his dogs. Also are you really trying to say shy people can't be in the movie business or travel? Private island, constant sunglasses, hats, lack of interviews outside of promotion, etc. Not exactly a secret.
