To think that Kurt Zouma should be banned from keeping animals after abusing his cat?

Just that really.

I know someone who used to be a (hobby) cat breeder and had trouble with local kids who poisoned/killed a couple of their cats.

They involved the rspca who, because they couldn't 'prove exactly' which youth had done it, prosecuted them for not keeping their cats safe (despite them being on their property, in a locked pen and behind 2 locked gates).

The rspca seized this person's cats, went to court 9 months later, asked the court to make the breeder pay boarding fees for 14 cats for 9 months and to give them a ban. Fortunately the boarding fees weren't upheld but a fine and a ban for 5yrs was imposed.

This was a respectable breeder who followed all legislation and GCCF (cat version of Kennel Club) rules and did absolutely nothing wrong.

When I look at the abuse that Zouma committed, then compare it with this breeder, imo he deserves, at the very least, the same punishment handed down to the breeder.

The fact that he is a famous footballer should not mean that he or his pets should be treated any differently to the rest of us. His pets deserve to be treated with respect (the same as yours and mine) and he deserves to be punished in exactly the same way as anyone else would be.

Thoughts..

Just got back in. How did the crowd react to that piece of filth? Brady and Moyes and the rest of the board SHOULD hang their heads in shame….but they won’t

I’m not at all religious. I believe in mother nature, even after what she did yesterday! BUT I do believe in Karma

Twice I’ve posted now and it hasn’t trended, this is the third time, if it doesn’t trend now I’ll begin to think some members of Gransnet HQ might be on the board!! ?

Apparently there were several complaints to the referee from West Ham players that the opposition were meeowing when Zouma got the ball…

Awwww diddums…….boo bloody hoo!!!Good, as long as it’s kept active…. Pity the cat couldn’t complain about being kicked around the room!! ??

Smileless2012 Sat 19-Feb-22 20:59:53

"meeowing" when he got the ball' fabulous.

Iam64 Sun 20-Feb-22 08:11:37

I had read the opposition arrived with inflatable cats and had a good chant for Zouma. I hadn’t heard about the miaowing - fabulous

Yes, Himself has just laughed at an article in the newspaper this morning about all the massive inflatable cats at the West Ham game yesterday and the supporters singing ‘Hey a yay Zouma.. ooh, ah (you know that catchy real song) .. I wanna know oh oh oh oh oh ... how you kicked that cat” ? ?

Serves him right, French pillock.

So glad it is being kept alive and not swept under the carpet ????????????????

We then asked Alexa o play ‘that Hey Baby song’ - it’s by DJ Otzi from 2001. Brought back many fun memories of everyone up dancing at functions we went to. It’s very catchy. Himself was singing along as he peeled all the Sunday veg.
I do like to help out...

No news on the RSPCA or have they shelved it?
They did say no donation had been made despite Moyes's claims, nor has a course on animal welfare been arranged for Zouma

I'm beginning to think that football is more powerful than the law, politics, anything else.

Perhaps, if football fans keep this up, he'll decide to go back to France.

Urmstongran Sun 20-Feb-22 10:08:26

Sadly, money talks doesn’t it Calli?
The French media were saying he should go to prison.

I don’t think he’ll risk going back to France because he could be jailed but I’m not sure if he’s been dropped from the French national team,there was something about it but I’m not sure. I’m afraid it will die down and there’s nothing more we can actually do but I do hope the fans do carry on taunting him…

I think football crowds can be very witty! The songs they latch on to can be brilliant. And of course this one is so easy to sing along to the crowd (both sides) will have raised the roof! That ground will have been rocking.

Zouma deserves all the embarrassment and approbation he gets.
He’s not getting much else in the way of punishment it seems.

Go fans!

I have just played it on Alexa, fabulous song for this purpose…???????? Just find it hard to believe it’s over 20 years old!! Where the hell did these years go?

Callistemon21 Sun 20-Feb-22 11:18:14

Hey Baby! I thought it was Bruce Channel who recorded it - that was about 1960!!

I saw him in concert, remember it well because The Beatles were the support act
I must be much older than you ?

Urmstongran Sun 20-Feb-22 11:18:43

It’s brilliant isn’t it Shinamae! ?

Stood on many a bench in ski wear, complete with ski boots singing this apres ski brings back fond memories.

(Then having to explain to our youngest that it’s ok to stand on chairs in ski huts but not if the song comes on when we are out to eat/drink at home ???)

Urmstongran Sun 20-Feb-22 11:21:25

Oh yes, that WAS the original Calli when I looked it up.
I do like this upbeat, punchy version though. You can’t help but sing along. And the menfolk really like it I’ve noticed.
?
Maybe that’s why it took off at the football ground. Can you just imagine the ROAR‼️

Ha! Love that GG13 and your explanation to the children!
