Footballer kicking cat

Good on you, grannygravy

Signed and shared with friend and family.

I have also emailed Lady Karren Brady, West Ham United and West Ham United Official Fan Club.

This has made me so angry, my parents were friends with West Ham players, from the mid 50’s, including Bobby Moore. It has always been the family team

I am ashamed that the manager thought it was ok to play Zouma last night

Bloody good job!
I've just about had enough of overpaid imbeciles thinking they can so whatever they want.

I really don’t think he’s going to get away lightly with this..

Public opinion is greater than any football club…

I really don’t think he’s going to get away lightly with this..

Such cruelty should be punished. I wonder how many times he has done this. Poor cat. The sad thing is that the children will learn this behaviour…..

Signed. Of course.

People signing petition by the second including me. Over 86,000 now. Keep it up folks.

Me too Sparklefizz and thanks for the link to the petition. Yes definitely agree Shinamae unlikely to be a one off.

Thanks for the update Shinamae. I've emailed the petition link to a number of friends. Can't get through to the RSPCA themselves. I hope the petition will reach the required number today.

I’ve signed the petition and also e mailed the RSPCA . Thanks for keeping us updated re your phone call Shinamae. This needs to be kept in the media until action is taken, At the very least the RSPCA should remove both cats. I can’t believe this was an isolated incident especially with all the laughing going on. They obviously viewed it as entertainment. It’s just sickening.

Exactly what I think, I really think the police should take their phones because I’m sure there are more atrocities but they have probably wiped them clean now because too little is being done too late…?

Thanks sparkle fizz all signed and that petition is going great guns ??????

I have replied on the other thread. This is the most despicable act, filmed by his brother who is also a footballer, and did it "for a laugh" not sure who he plays for but I will find out.
Yes, he played last night, and David Moyes was defending his reason for putting him on the pitch last night on tv this morning.
I sent an email to the RSPCA yesterday and to West Ham. I have received replies to acknowledge receipt.
I am like you all, absolutely horrified at this, the video is just dreadful, the poor little cat. All our animals are so loval, it is just heartbreaking.
This individual should be prosecuted, the animals removed, and be banned for life for having any more, and sacked from his job. But I doubt, after listening to Moyes, this morning this will happen, Moyes has gone way down in my estimations.

I got hold of a very nice girl she wanted to know my concerns, and she said my name would be added to a growing list,she took my name and my telephone number but could not tell me how far the investigation has gone and I just said it’s appalling that you didn’t go straight away and take those cats but it’s not her fault she’s a call handler..

I am on the phone to the RSPCA and my position in the queue is 10th but I am going to wait and see what they have to say…

I was going to phone them too but I'll wait to hear what they say to you.

“Due to current demands for this service you may have a considerable delay” I am now 16 in the queue, oh it’s just dropped to 5

Wasn’t 16 I was six and now I’m down to 3 so hopefully not much longer

He has done what seems to be normal these days.
Issued a statement apologising and saying it was a one off incident blah blah blah....

That’s a good point Shinamae, the loss of lucrative advertising contracts. Let’s hope his club take action. The very least suspend him unpaid for a month and send him on some kind of talking therapy. I know, ridiculous to even think anyone needs telling animal abuse is bad.
Also he and his family need intervention to know children exposed to this may behave like he does

Even if he is prosecuted he will probably just receive a fine which won't even be noticable given his weekly wage. I'm glad football fans are showing their disapproval by booing him. The fact that he was filmed and there was laughter is, to me, proof this is not a one off incident. I dread to think what those poor animals are going through on a regular basis.

Are some humans born cruel? This worrying item just sickens me. Should be banned from keeping pets for life.

The mindset of somebody who can treat a cat so cruelly worries me. What else is he capable of? I fear for his family as well as his poor cats.
