Johny Depps dogs Face Death in Australia after Quarantine Row

He's been given a deadline to return Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo back to the US and bring them back in the proper manner.

Australia's Agriculture Minister says it's that or the dogs die.

LEAVE OR DIE

"Mr Depp has to either take his dogs back to California or we're going to have to euthanise them.”

“He's not got about 50 hours left to remove the dogs. He can put them on the same charter jet he flew out on and fly them back out of our nation," said Australian Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce.

Depp jetted in with the dogs on a private plane, by-passing quarantine, when he returned to Australia from the U.S. following treatment for a hand injury.

The animals were spotted at the Gold Coast house he's renting while filming the latest installment of the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean series.
