West Ham’s star youngster Kurt Zouma filmed kicking and throwing things at his cat (Current events 2)

 

Hello everyone !

Today’s post would be about another promising footballer, namely Kurt Zouma, who plays for West Ham United in the Premier League. He has been filmed kicking, slapping and throwing things at his cat and the video was then posted on social media – Snapchat. He was also chasing the cat around the kitchen, while the person who was filming it (Many people say it was his brother) was laughing and having fun of that. Zouma, who is currently 27 years old, was also throwing sneakers at the cat while it tried to run away. People think he was doing this because he was angry at the cat because it made a mess in the house, but I don’t see any mess in the videos! His brother then said that “It seemed that Kurt got angry at the cat for accidentally smashing some sort of vase and tearing down a light fixture from the kithcen cupboard. But what he does next is completely unacceptable. Kurt kicks it, throws shoes at it and then slaps it. The poor cat looked so scared.“ (Shennan, 2022). The video can be found here: https://news.sky.com/video/the-video-of-west-ham-footballer-kurt-zouma-abusing-his-cat-12537440. After the video went viral and people started talking about it, Zouma uploaded a video on his social media where he was apologizing and saying that he regrets these actions and that he would never do it again. He was also apologizing to all the people he could have made upset because of that video, and he assured that the cat was perfectly fine and healthy. His former club, West Ham United stated „We have spoken to Kurt and will be dealing with the matter internally, but we would like to make it clear that we in no way condone cruelty towards animals.“ (West Ham, 2022). However he was not dropped out of the squad for next matches like Mason Greenwood was (from the previous post). So, I would like to ask you guys a question, do you think he should have been punished somehow? In my opinion, it is completely same case like Mason Greenwood’s, maybe even worse, because the poor animal couldn’t even resist. Animals love us and we should love them, and I am strongly against being violent on animals, so I hope Kurt Zouma will never do that again and that he learned from this and would never be cruel again.
