Depp, 51, disobeyed Australia's animal import laws by bringing his dogs into the country without permits or a period in quarantine, reported Ace Showbiz.
PETA Senior VP Lisa Lange said in a statement, "PETA is not at all surprised that Johnny and Amber, who clearly love their animals very much, have arranged to transport their dogs back to the United States safely. It sounds pretty heavy-handed to fine people for trying to include every member of their family in their travel plans."
He gave the actor two days to send his dogs out of the country or they would be euthanized.
