After being filmed abusing one of his cats at his home, Kurt Zouma suffered the wrath of supporters of his own club last night. For its part, the PETA association is asking that its cats be removed from it as soon as possible.
The case involving the defender of the France team Kurt Zouma continues to cause a stir, more than 24 hours after the disclosure of a very disturbing video in which the 27-year-old sportsman martyrs one of his cats. A terrible video where the player passed by Chelsea has fun kicking the feline, chasing it by throwing projectiles at it and then slapping it in the head. Images which obviously shocked public opinion and the player was quick to apologize after his unacceptable and reprehensible behavior since he risks up to 5 years in prison, according to English law.
Despite this lively controversy, his club West Ham did not see fit to rest him for last night’s match against Watford, and Kurt Zouma started in central defense, only a few hours after the start of the case. . It is an understatement to say that the Frenchman was very poorly received by his public! West Ham supporters did not hesitate to whistle their own player from his first touch of the ball and this was repeated with each ball touched.
We also ask that his animals be taken away from him.
If the case made a lot of noise in England, it was also widely relayed in France, and in particular with associations for the defense of animals. Invited on the set of BFMTV, a representative of PETA did not go there four ways on the sanctions to be taken against Kurt Zouma. “In addition to asking for sanctions that are exemplary, whether it is struck off or in any case suspendedwe also ask that his animals be taken away from him”, she says. Owner of two cats, Kurt Zouma could therefore lose custody of them soon.
The player’s brother also apologizes
This whole affair would certainly never have taken place if the player’s brother, Yoan Zouma, had not filmed the scene before relaying it on Snapchat. The latter, also a footballer in an English fifth division club, also wanted to apologize for the actions of his brother. “I deeply regret my involvement in the video which has been widely circulated and I apologize wholeheartedly, not only for my actions, but also for the upheaval and distress it causes so many people”he declares, before emphasizing that it was a “isolated incident“.
Well entangled in a scandal he caused, Kurt Zouma now faces heavy penalties and it seems that he does not have much support within his club …
