AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande took to Twitter on Tuesday, June 2 to vent her anger after her puppies Toulouse and Sirius were "almost murdered" when entering the U.K. via ferry. Ariana wrote, "This was unacceptable. @poferries pls have your employees treat people /animals w respect. kindness goes a long way," along with a link to her mother Joan Grande's lengthy post about the incident.
The "Love Me Harder" hitmaker went on, "The pups were safe and sound thanks to frankie but it was indeed a terrible experience. no animal / human should be treated that way.. ever." Ariana then replied to her mom's posting of the proof documents, writing, "@joangrande @poferries yaas b***h." She added, "Don't fuck w my puppies. ever..... mess @poferries. flips pony tail *logs off*."
In her lengthy post, Joan said that the incident happened after Ariana finished her two Amsterdam concerts and decided to cross to the U.K. on the P&O Ferries Calais to Dover Ferry. "I was very happy to declare Toulouse and Sirius and proudly presented the documentation to prove that their vaccinations were all in order," Joan shared, noting that Ariana was not with her because her bus had already been cleared to enter the ferry line.
"We were, however, immediately stopped by the Boothman telling me that dogs are not allowed to transfer onto the Ferry in a bus," she added, "In shock, I explained that I am sure that is the policy, but the policy could not be referring to a private bus, that I have been living on and driving in for three weeks, but meant a public transport bus... He responded in a dismissive and condescending manner, 'I don't care, it says bus and this is a bus'... so, trying not to panic, I explained again, that there is no one from the general public on the bus and it is private transportation."
At one point, Joan talked to a manager but "this man would not listen to reason" so she began asking people at the ferry stop if she could transport the dogs in their car. "Finally 4 men (angels) in a blue Audi driving back to London from Amsterdam agreed... it just wasn't quite that simple.. the car was full, so I asked two of the men if they wouldn't mind riding on the Ferry in my Bus, while the dogs and I took up their seats... they kindly agreed...," she said.
When they approached to get their number for the Ferry line, "The French Border people said the dogs are NOT ALLOWED to transfer IN A CAR if not contained in a travel crate." Joan then "quickly went to the bus, pulled the travel crates I have for them, put the dogs in them and ran back to the car .. We got back in the car....... ALL was great... UNTIL a different Boothman said I now have to pay to get the dogs to pass..."
The dogs were then denied again "because they were accusedly not fully vaccinated." Joan told the manager that the dogs were vaccinated in Italy but the manager refused to accept the Italian paperwork.
"At this point, one man in a yellow jacket said to me, 'If you take the dogs, when you arrive in Dover, they will be KILLED!' " she continued, "Due to his French accent, I wasn't 100|percent| certain of what he said, so I asked him to repeat it... he said the DOGS WOULD BE KILLED!.. I actually thought I disengaged from my body as tears started streaming down my face, and I felt as if I were losing my mind!!! I told him that they would have to KILL ME FIRST and we would see what the US EMBASSY would say about that..."
"Ariana and Frankie now heard what was going on outside of their bus.. when Ariana heard what they said about Killing the Dogs, she almost got herself arrested. Frankie stepped in, calmed us down and spoke to them ... Frankie offered himself in place of me and said he would go with the Police and see us when he could, he said goodbye, took the dogs and got in a car with the Police not knowing what to do, but knowing he would figure it out... And thankfully he speaks French," she added.
The dogs were later able to enter London. "AND TO FURTHER PROVE THAT THE DOGS ALWAYS POSSESSED THE PROPER VACCINATIONS, THEY WENT THROUGH THE EXACT SAME PROCESS AT THE SAME P&O FERRY (@POFERRIES) ENTRANCE POINT," Joan wrote. "A MERE 6 HOURS LATER AND WERE GRANTED ACCESS BECAUSE ALL VACCINATIONS WERE IN ORDER......."
that time ariana grande's dogs were almost murdered.
