BJ's now prioritising the evacuation of animals over Afghans. Suggestion is his wife and animal rights campaigner is behind the decision.
I haven't followed this story very closely but my understanding was that he chartered the plane himself so imo he should have been allowed fly out with his animals and staff which I think was 68 Afghans plus the animals. So I suppose he's rescuing people as well as animals. If the UK government had such an issue with that and wanted to put people before animals like some official said then why didn't they supply or charter more planes?
I don't know if there's even a guarantee that he'll get all the people and animals to the airport safely.
There were photos circulating a few days ago of cars in a cargo hold, if they were genuine whoever ordered that needs a good flogging. Maybe the Taliban can help?!
