In 2015, Johnny Depp made headlines for illegally bringing his two dogs, Pistol and Boo, into Australia while he was filming the latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This caused a huge controversy in Australia, as the country has strict quarantine laws in place to prevent the spread of diseases.
Depp and his then-wife, Amber Heard, were accused of not declaring the dogs upon their arrival in Australia and were threatened with charges of smuggling and breaking quarantine laws. The Australian government gave the couple 50 hours to remove the dogs from the country or face having them euthanized.
The incident sparked a huge public outcry, with many Australians angry at Depp for flouting their country's laws. It was also widely reported in the media, with news outlets from around the world covering the story.
Eventually, Depp and Heard complied with the Australian government's demands and flew Pistol and Boo back to the United States. The dogs were placed in quarantine upon their arrival in California, where they stayed for a month before being released to Depp.
The incident had long-lasting repercussions for Depp and Heard, with both receiving a lot of criticism from the public and the media. It also led to changes in Australia's quarantine laws, with the government introducing tougher penalties for those who break the rules.
In 2016, Depp and Heard pleaded guilty to charges of illegally importing the dogs into Australia and were given a relatively light punishment of a $1,000 fine, which they paid. The case was eventually dropped, but the incident remains a controversial and memorable moment in the history of celebrity pet scandals.
