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

They should rehome him via his P45.

@Lockheart

The video emerged less than 24 hours ago. What is your basis for thinking he's "got away with it"?
Being played tonight! Started the game.

Essex police are liaising with the RSPCA. There's hope.

Absolute fucking cunt

Prescottdanni123 · 08/02/2022 20:56

He hurt the poor thing in front of children as well, which makes this horrific incident even worse.

ilovesooty · 08/02/2022 20:57

I hope his fucking hamstring goes again. Permanently.

Polkadotties · 08/02/2022 20:58

He’s getting a lot of shit on the West Ham FB page

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/02/2022 20:59

His brother is a footballer as well. The first clip was captioned “sa commence”. - and so it begins.. ( according to DM) Suggesting it’s a common occurrence. Sickening.

Good.
TheOnlyMrsMac · 08/02/2022 21:07

I could not stay married to a man who did this, or raise children around him.

Newfluff · 08/02/2022 21:54

Dreadful he played tonight

@wanttomarryamillionaire

Is anyone really that suprised though? Hes a premiership footballer, they are moronic arseholes who think they can do as they please. I hope he gets charged with animal cruelty.
Moronic arseholes - because they are elite athletes?

YANBU he sounds like a cu next Tuesday.

He should lose his job.

Of course you'd change your username from your usual one just to get your racism on, in the guise of calling out animal cruelty. You should've kept your name if you were confident enough and was only calling that part out. You're no better than him, I tell you that much. I see you, ClamLidya.

I thought it was going to be a nothing story, made bigger by the press BUT my god thats vile.

How he can do that and the club send him out on the pitch is a disgrace, good on both sets of fans for booing him and the manager needs to do something if the police are too cowardice.
Truly vile.

"Baby mama"?

I hope no one reports your racist posts because I believe racist shit should stand for everyone to see, except cowards change their names from their usual username in order to post them.

Calling out animal cruelty is good. He's a piece of shit for what he's done. Calling out racism is good. Racists are pieces of shit. As I said, not any better.

Suzi888 · 09/02/2022 04:09

@ilovesooty

He's sponsored by Adidas. Perhaps it would assist their current investigation if people contact them.
Oh FFS hope they drop him…. So where’s this petition ? I can’t find it…
Terfydactyl · 09/02/2022 05:58

@ThroughThickAndThin01

I just don’t understand the mentality of a) doing something like that but b) broadcasting it? Do they think the public will actually want to watch this happening. I don’t get it. Surely they would expect a backlash.
Him and his brother think it's funny as. They actually see nothing wrong with what happened to the cat. Ergo everyone does that to their animals. They should never be allowed to keep animals again. The worst bit of the whole video for me was him slapping the cat. The kid picked the cat up and tried to put the cat on the worktop. You could see the cat knew what was coming. He is a big man and that was a tiny cat, it must have hurt.
