Johnny Depp brought his 2 dogs on a private plane, the dogs were not quarantined at the airport but were taken to a groomer who posted images of the dogs on FaceBook.<br />This in violation of a Australia&#39;s &quot;famously strict biosecurity laws&quot; in a nation which has a significant kangaroo problem and no natural predators [except the salt water crocodile which doesn&#39;t generally inhabit the same &quot;biosphere&quot; if that is a word].<br />This is either a publicity stunt or some kind of challenge to Australia&#39;s &quot;famously strict biosecurity laws&quot; <br />Could also be timed to coincide with the release of Mad Max 2015.
