More Good News For Amber Heard!

[jennabee123]

2023 continues to be a good year for Amber Heard! She's living her best life and that means finally being free of all legal troubles brought on by the walking corpse of stale cigarette that is her ex. As once again, all charges related to an incident in 2015, of trying to "smuggle" her two Yorkies, Boo and Pistol, into Australia have been dropped.

I forgot about this whole thing, how exactly can dogs be "smuggled"?

[jaequeeragenda]

exactly O_O

[inkstainedlips]

Maybe on a private plane?

[komnene]

Yes this is how they came in, I remember seeing footage lol.

Dogs can't travel to Australia without a long quarantine period because of potential rabies. (There is no rabies in Australia). Circumventing that period is smuggling them in illicitly.

[arilicious]

ah, okay. Still pretty weird it took this long for the charges to be dropped. and was Depp charged as well?

[jennabee123]

They were dropped in 2016, she had to pay a fine her and Depp released an apology video. But, the investigation was
re-opened as a result of the U.K trial, with claims Amber committed perjury, thanks to debt and Waldman. The Australian gov't is saying she didn't perjure herself and this case has, once again, been settled and closed.

[jennabee123]

No, Depp wasn't charged. Amber took full responsibility, because it would only added to the shit show he created for the filming of POTC5 thanks to his behavior.

TIL there's no rabies in Australia, omg

Yeah but all their koalas have Chlamydia

[bluestoplights]

Chlamydia is curable!

[niyarav]

It is but sadly it kills a lot of koalas because they go untreated and so many of them have it now, it leaves a lot of them infertile too :(

But in better news, there is promising progress on a vaccine against it :)

[srslyy]

Lol is this true? What

[fauxkaren]

yes!!! https://www.livescience.com/62517-how-koalas-get-chlamydia.html

Oh that is so good to hear! There is hope for the koalas ❤️

I'm reminded of the Craig Ferguson comment that Chlamydia would be a good name for a Punk band.
