FROM BBC NEWS:
Actor Johnny Depp has been told he has until Saturday to remove his dogs from Australia or they will be put down.

Depp and his wife Amber Heard are accused of not declaring Yorkshire Terriers Boo and Pistol to customs officials when they flew into Queensland by private jet last month.

Australia has strict animal quarantine laws to prevent importing infections.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said he understood the dogs were being sent back to the US.

"I personally as a minister don't have Mr Depp's phone number, nor does he have mine," Mr Joyce told the BBC.

"But my department is informed they are organising for the dogs to be sent back to the United States.

"I'd say that is the wisest move."

There has been no immediate comment from Depp or Heard.

An online petition to save the "cute dogs" had received nearly 5,000 signatures by late on Thursday local time in Australia.
"Have a heart Barnaby! Don't kill these cute puppies," it appealed.

Mr Joyce said in an earlier interview: "If we start letting movie stars even though they've been the 'sexiest man alive' twice to come into our nation, then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?

"It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States."

The dogs' illicit entry appears to have been uncovered after a grooming salon on the Gold Coast posted pictures of them on its Facebook page.

Biosecurity officials visited the vast Gold Coast house Depp and Heard are renting on Wednesday.

"The dogs have been ordered into quarantine and the owners have been advised the dogs must be exported within 72 hours," said a statement on the agricultural ministry website.
