Considering he had a chartered aircraft paid for, his staff were all signed up and cleared for travel to the U.K., I for one cannot understand why they were not allowed to depart with the animals, to stop them at the final gate and deny them all sounds a bit like sour grapes by the U.K. I am neither for nor against this mans actions, though I do question the logic of pets over people. Heck one reason they had to have troops load them were the staff had been stopped.
