Premier league footballer kicks cat and gets away with it...

A footballer Kurt Zouma (apologies if already been mentioned here) has been videoed kicking his cat and chasing it yet West Ham says they've condemned his actions and he's apologised.

AIBU to be disgusted with him?

foul foul man

I sincerely hope they're not returned to him. He isn't fit to look after a pet - and probably not a child either.

He drop kicked that cat so with downward force of cats fall and upward force of his foot , I'm worried the cat could have internal injuries
How could he and his brother as being anything but dangerous, painful for the cat and abusive ?

I was very anit-brexit (yes Boris, where is that £350m a week that was going to go into the NHS, that worked out well...) but since we are where are, can't Zouma be deported?

No, he's not been charged with anything and he's not been convicted of anything.

If the French decide to prosecute there and issue an extradition warrant then he can be extradited after an extradition hearing here to be tried in France. Highly unlikely though.

The petition is nearing 300,000 - let's get it up some more.

My understanding is that legal action against Zouma is now being pursued in France, his home country. Let's not forget his brother, also.

His brother has been suspended by his club Dagenham and Redbridge today.

TooTiredForAdventure · 10/02/2022 19:10

Good

bluewanda · 10/02/2022 20:56

Adidas quickly ended its relationship with the player while West Ham’s commercial partners Experience Kissimmee and Vitality have respectively ended and suspended their deals with the club.

Well done Adidas, Experience and Vitality.

He’s had the cats taken away and been fined so not getting away with it

Excellent news.

Yes he is. He’ll be on the bench for a few weeks (if even that) then back to playing.

Despicable man. He should have been fired.

Yep. Hope SS is all over him like a rash.

The thread was started before either of those two things happened.
cuparfull · 11/02/2022 02:20

It's the casual brutality of the drop kick, the laughter, and then the filming of it like its just an everyday nonchalant occurence. Makes you wonder about the mentality of those two foul footballers.
No wonder the cats aren't using the litter tray. They're scared shitless! And thankfully have both now been removed by the RSPCA and those brutes have been suspended by their clubs.

bluewanda · 11/02/2022 06:50

@cuparfull Kurt Zouma has not been suspended from West Ham.

TooTiredForAdventure · 11/02/2022 14:29

They've stated that he's still available to play at the weekend.

I'm utterly disgusted.

I hope the club lose every match from now until the end of the season.

Yes - it looks like West Ham are fully intending to play him against Leicester. I hope the West Ham sponsors and both sets of fans take note and act accordingly.

His brother's club are better behaved, as he is suspended until the RSPCA/police investigation is concluded.

IcyWinterWonderland · 11/02/2022 17:51

He is a fucking cunt. I hope he is dropped from his team and loses all his cash!

MissPeregrine · 11/02/2022 17:59

Chris Packham has just tweeted that his boss Moyes has said he’s available for the Leicester City game, so they’re doing fuck all about it in the football bubble he’s surrounded by!

Fucking disgrace!

VladmirsPoutine · 11/02/2022 18:15

If he were white this would have not only blown over by now but the sponsorships would still be in place and this thread wouldn't be full of people calling for him to lose everything and hopefully get deported.

llansannan21 · 11/02/2022 18:19

@VladmirsPoutine I'm not so sure OP. You underestimate how much people love animals in this country.

The West Ham directors include a porn merchant and so morals are not their strong point.

Are you serious? Of it fucking wouldn't! Whatever his skin colour, people would clearly recognize his actions were wrong!
