He was interviewed on TV this morning. He stated that no one within the UK military of Govt did anything to help him get into the airport or to leave the Afghanistan, he had to negotiate everything with the Taliban

The flight out was on a cargo plane with the animals in the cargo hold and all available seats on the plane were occupied.

But hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
Exactly but what is the truth here.

“What would you say if I sent an ambulance to save my dog rather than to save your mother?” said Conservative lawmaker Tom Tugendhat, who served with the British Army in Afghanistan.

“We’ve just used a lot of troops to bring in 200 dogs. Meanwhile, my interpreter’s family is likely to be killed,” Tugendhat told radio station LBC on Saturday.

Farthing and his supporters say Operation Ark did not take airplane seats from people or drain resources from the official evacuation operation. But government officials disagree.

Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said the military had to prioritize people over pets and complained that some of Farthing’s more militant supporters had “taken up too much time” of senior commanders and had sent abuse to military staff.

Two sides to every story probably neither 100 accurate, that said these animals should not be brought here, we have more than enough unwanted pets,

Well, we have heard the evidence that he was abusing staff, assuming that the recording isn’t a fake, of course - but I’m fairly sure that would have been shouted out loud if it was.
