Footballer kicking cat

I deplore animal cruelty and particularly love cats very upsetting this video, poor defenceless creature hope the cat is rehomed

I agree. And I’d like to see the brother sacked from his club.

Breaking news! The RSPCA have taken both cats, which will be checked over, and will remain in their care while the investigation continues.

Very pleased to read this. I signed the petition yesterday when it was posted on Mumsnet.

The cats have now been removed by the rspca.

The RSPCA have taken the cats into care pending their enquiries.

Good.
Daily Mail just reported that Zouma, who is French, may be prosecuted in France; if found guilty it could result in a 4 year prison sentence.
What on earth was Zouma's brother thinking when he put the video on social media - that people would think it was funny? What a vile pair of brothers. My worry (apart from the poor cat's suffering) is what has this behaviour done to any children in that family - I doubt that this is an isolated incident. Those poor children, living with such a bully of a father, and no doubt they will now get bullied at school because of this incident.

Great news that the cats are now safe! Relief on that score.

So pleased to hear the cats are now safe. Good news.

It has been going round and round in my head - it must all have been premeditated, must have been. What horrible individuals.

On sky News just now that horrible pig has been fined a quarter of £1 million which is pocket money to him he needs to go…. And preferably to jail I’m just about to email West Ham..

(Apologies to any pigs)

Sarah Jane has just said it’s two weeks wages which will be donated to a charity, bloody pathetic…?

Peanuts to him.

I emailed the brother's club, Dagenham and Redbridge, and they replied swiftly. They are looking into it, will post their decision soon. The little shitbag has issued a statement saying how ashamed he is. Yeah right.

I hate the word sorry! Lots of people think they can do what they like and if they get caught then a ‘sorry’ and they can carry on as if nothing has happened.

Please get in touch ….. This scum needs to be sacked and jailed..?

Could you share that email address please

Vitality has announced its suspending sponsorship..

I wonder at the way these two brothers think. Firstly for thinking it amusing to do such a thing, secondly for filming it and thirdly for sharing the film. Brainless!!
Have signed the petition.

Well yes, and yet ...

it would not have been any less cruel had it NOT been on social media, we just wouldn't have known about it.

Glad the cats have been taken into care.

What point are you trying to make Kali2?

My concern is this - if he can behave like this towards the cats he owns, ( which is despicable in itself), what might his behaviour be towards his children and partner? Very worrying, I think.

I support the RSPCA and received an email a few hours ago to all supporters. They were acting on the case before it went viral and the cats are safe and in their care. Investigations continue.

That’s a big concern. There are definite links between animal abuse, domestic violence including child abuse.

It’s also obvious to every poster here that exposing his child to this ‘incident’ was emotionally abusive.

So relieved to hear that the cats are now safe.

I've also read that as well as the cats being taken he's been fined £250,000. Hope that's right.

Yes, apparently that’s the maximum amount the club can fine him (2 weeks’ wages?) and it will be given to animal charities.
