Callous and horrific, Kurt Zouma’s actions leave West Ham grappling with huge problem

If the measure of a man’s character is how he treats his fellow animals, then West Ham player Kurt Zouma is rotten to the core.

A video of Zouma abusing his cat, which emerged on Tuesday, is deeply disturbing and has rightly been met with universal revulsion and condemnation by a nation of animal lovers.

The footage, which should only be viewed with caution, shows Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cat, and, in a separate video, throwing shoes at the Bengal and chasing it around the room. It was apparently filmed by his brother Yoan, who can be heard laughing, before being uploaded to Snapchat.
