Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp and his new wife Amber Heard have less than two days to remove their dogs from Australia or the dogs will be killed.

The stars disobeyed Australia's animal import laws and brought their Yorkshire terriers, Boo and Pistol, into the country without permits or a period in quarantine.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce accused Depp of smuggling the Yorkshire terriers into the country, he ordered him to fly his dogs out of the country by Saturday or they will be put down.

"There is a process if you wanna bring animals in. You get the permit, they go into quarantine and then you can have them. If we start letting movie stars, even though they have been the sexiest man alive twice to come into our nation then why don't we just break the laws for everybody. So it's time that Pistol and Boo went back to the United States, and after that I don't expect to be invited to the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean."

Australia has strict quarantine regulations to prevent spreading diseases such as rabies.

Depp is in Australia to resume filming of the fifth installment in Walt Disney Pictures' Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
