Actor Johnny Depp’s two Yorkshire Terriers were flown out of the country on Saturday, after a row erupted when it emerged that they had not passed through the usual quarantine procedures for entry into Australia.

Agriculture Minster Barnaby Joyce had threatened to have the dogs euthanised unless they left the country, which sparked a massive online backlash against him.

The video titled 'Pirates of the Caribbean - The Canine Calamity' aired on ABC Insider's program on Sunday. It is the work of Huw Parkinson who brought us the Christopher Pyne “I’ve fixed it” Darth Vader spoof video in March.
