Australian Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce is having a good time threatening actor Johnny Depp’s two Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, it seems. Apparently Joyce (yes, Barnaby Joyce does sound like a character Depp might play) thinks movie stars shouldn’t get special treatment. Which begs the question: where has Barnaby been? That’s the way the world works! But anyway…
Joyce has a sense of humor about the situation, apparently. He wants Depp to send his pups home because they came into the country illegally (unlike whatever else Johnny Depp brought with him?) and may present a risk of disease. “Mr. Depp has to either take his dogs back to California or we’re going to have to euthanize them,” Joyce said. Joyce knows precisely who he’s dealing with, too: “If you start letting movie stars — even though they’ve been the sexiest man alive twice — to come into our nation (with pets), then why don’t we just break laws for everybody?” Joyce said, according to the Associated Press.
