It's a 2 year old thread that had no comments... Until what was probably some sort of spam appeared on it

There was another thread at the time

Did say that already?

Best find the thread on forgetfulness.

Callistemon good advice

We haven't met before have we? I'm Violet

I don't remember!

Actually, I sat next to someone the other week, I've known her for years and she's a 'friendly acquaintance' but could I remember her name? We chatted away. Then she got up and someone else said "Oh, has Jenny gone to make tea?"
Phew!

Was footballers, abuse, losing sponsorship by a footballer supplier, if I recall correctly. They paid up. All over as much as I know.

But what happened to the cat?

It was rehomed.

Good.

I think there were two, presumably both happy and cared for now.

It was a two year old story but with an unfinished ending.

The cats were re homed, the brothers were bought to court for the offence and were fined. I would say that was the end of it, it's up to the courts to decide on the punishment.

Why keep bringing it up. Zouma lost his cats and said at the time there was no excuse for his behaviour, and he was remorseful. He can do no more, he lost alot of sponsorship, and had to put up with alot of taunting from opposing football fans.
I cannot abide cruelty and there has been stories on the news about cruelty to animals, horse lady being one, plus cruelty to vunerable people, but still people rake up old coals about Zouma. It just sounds like some people want revenge not justice.

I'm not a cat person, rafichagran but can't bear cruelty to most animals.

Neither can I, and I had five cats living with me at one time. I just feel that reviving a two year old thread just because Zouma is a well paid football player is unnecessary, the cats are re homed and Zouma had consequences for his actions. I think people should accept this and not re hash it.

I think it got revived by a spammer, rafichagran and has taken off from there.

Right, I'm off.
(Before I forget and post again!)

Oh yes, I saw the post upthread about your forgetfulness. Never mind after what I forgot today I think I will join you.

I don't think it was rehashed by a GNetter, was it? Most of us were just filling in details about the vile pepetrator.
But football is football, and the reason it gets raked up is because footballers should be seen as role models. So if you get a footballer who is involved in say a sex scandal (Rooney, Giggs), then the story just runs and runs. Or like Gascoigne and booze. The press love to hound footballers and lambast them more than any other type of sportsman for being poor examples for children to look up to.

Absolutely This.

This original post was in March 2022. The animal abusers were dealt with, and the cat taken away.
