Kurt Zouma

[SHODAN]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60312876

A video emerged recently of him abusing his cat and they have now been taken from him. Despite this he played for West Ham yesterday.

Abusing a defenceless trusting animal - particularly a cat - is one thing that really enrages me and I can't even bring myself to watch the video. Utterly sickening behaviour.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet 😲

[Wilson]

Sure it said on BBC that the RSPCA have removed his cats on the back of this.

Assume he will be charged with something. Got to be said bad enough doing the abuse but wtf would you record and then publicise it. Very weird

[MWHIBBIES]

Dunno why he wouldn't play. Unless he's in trouble with the police, which he wasn't last night. He's not gonna get the jail for this.

We played Newell after he drove drunk. And Boyle.

No level of football talent and wealth will prevent acts of rank stupidity.

It is an odd one.

Both Boyle and Newell were very fortunate not to have seriously hurt or killed someone with their actions.

A level of hypocrisy at play here?

The Zouma video is utterly disgusting to watch though.
If he thinks it's okay to treat a cat like that, where does he draw the line with how he treats his family?

[big gogs]

According to the radio,he has been fined by his club,two weeks wages ,£250.000.hope it goes to animal charities.

[cabbageandribs1875]

fined £250k by his club = two weeks salary

[Nicho87]

fined £250k by his club = two weeks salary

Ridiculous wages for a average player

With that kind of money we could be getting another B team player.

Presumably, like many, he doesn’t have the same love and regard for animal life as he does human beings. (Most others manage to refrain from physically abusing them though).

As deplorable as the video is, I don’t think there’s any call to assume his family are at risk because of it.

[Jim44]

This case won't just be shrugged off. He might be in trouble with the police. This was discussed on the Jeremy Vine programme today. Chris Packham and others contributed and suggestions were being made that this will grow arms and legs. They were all crying out for the case to be taken as high as possible and they were talking about potential legal action with a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. It probably won’t go as far as that but I think the clown is in deep doo!

[blackpoolhibs]

£250k fine from the club for what he did is a little extreme in my opinion.

[MWHIBBIES]

He's a very good player tbh. Looked like one of the worlds top young defenders before bad injuries.

Absolute tit for what he's done, but I can't see it being taken far. Will blow over.

[patch1875]

Don’t ***** with cats. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of cat people.

Horrible individual for doing that least some charity’s will benefit from it.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I personally think he should be arrested and placed on some kind of register.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Probably on the career path to be a serial killer. 🤔

[blackpoolhibs]

Going by that, i should be serving life then, i killed my pet white mouse when i was a kid, never realised they did not like going round the wheel that fast.

[Sir David Gray]

I personally think he should be arrested and placed on some kind of register.

:agree:

I personally think if this incident is concluded with him receiving a two week fine from his club and his cats confiscated then he should consider himself quite fortunate.

Disgusting actions and I personally think David Moyes should be disappointed with himself for choosing to play Zouma last night.

It's always been said that the abuse of animals is often how psychopaths start out and whilst I'm not suggesting he's going to turn into a serial killer, I definitely don't think the seriousness of this should be downplayed.

[Since452]

If you assault a defenceless animal, especially a pet you are an utter ****bag in my opinion.

[Pagan Hibernia]

:greengrin

I also killed a gerbil, accidentally. It’s haunted me ever since.

this guy, a 27 year old man, volley’d his cat across the kitchen. He should not be allowed to own an animal in future.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Will nobody consider the felines of the cat? Probably got 8 lives left.

[Jim44]

£250k fine from the club for what he did is a little extreme in my opinion.

What the club has done is neither here nor there. A club punishment, small or huge, will not interfere with legal procedures. The club’s belated action. I think, is to save face with their fans and the public who are outraged with this. Moyes appears to have made an error of judgement here.

[cabbageandribs1875]

and here's Jason Kerr showing how to deal with a cat during last nights Sheff wed v Wigan game, are you watching Zoomer Zouma, nasty pos :agree:

We just need to keep our fingers crossed Jimmy Carr does not make a joke about this, we dont want this getting completely out of context.

[Bridge hibs]

[grunt]

Apparently this cat had been missing for 6 months and has now been reunited with its owner.

[JamesHFC]

Someone put it pretty well on Twitter.

“Romelu Lukaku can be dropped, fined and made to do a video apology for an interview with Sky Italia, while Aubmeyang can be dropped, stripped of the captaincy and given a free transfer for being late. But Kurt Zouma is still yet to be punished for abusing a cat.”

Suppose he has faced repercussions for his actions since though. Morally wrong for West Ham to play him last night imo.

[Unseen work]

Horrible, takes a horrible person to do that.

[Jim44]

What this person did to a defenceless animal is bad enough, and I shudder to think what goes on behind closed doors, but to record the abuse and put it on to social media is horrific.

Also, there is a young child present when he takes a massive swipe at it, which is normalising violence for them. (a kid that age isn't going to be able to accurately separate the difference between hurting a "loved" family pet and another human).
Could be viewed as a sign of neglect as well!

[AugustaHibs]

What he did was horrific but there is some amount of overreacting going on around social media.

David Moyes got it wrong too and proves that it's results and money before morals in football and always has been.

Zouma also slapped the cat really hard in the face. Lovely guy.

How did he promote it?

[tomhorn]

Seriously? So there is a £ amount that you can put on this that makes it ok?



How is that calculated then?

Anything short of sacking him immediately and reporting him to the police is beyond contempt.

[blackpoolhibs]

Would you be fined £250k for doing it, who has said what he did was ok?

[Dalianwanda]

How did he promote it?

By allowing himself to be filmed then shared doing it. Thought that was pretty obvious.

[tomhorn]

Would you be fined £250k for doing it, who has said what he did was ok?

Nah but I don't earn £250k a fortnight. It's 2% of his annual salary.

So when you say it's a bit much, I mean if they fined him say, £250 you reckon that would be closer to not being a bit extreme?


Is your point that it's a legal matter and should be dealt with in a legal capacity and not actually the for an employer to dish out any punishment?

Genuinely wondering

I genuinely think the club have fined him two weeks wages, that is apparently £250k is ridiculous and completely over the top for what he did.

I dont care that his wages are more than what you or i earn, it's just ludicrous that if you or i had done it, we would have been fined a 4 or 5 hundred quid at most and banned from owning a cat.

What happened to that old biddy who locked a cat in a dustbin?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Is that the way social media works? You ever tried to tell someone not to take your pic cos they want a few radge likes on their feed, it's next to impossible.

I suppose I can't get my head around the concept that there is some sort of cash value that is deemed as acceptable or not. Surely nothing less than punting him and never paying him another penny of their supporters hard earned is the only answer here?

I think we're almost back in the David Goodwillie argument. This is about recognising that footballers, whether they like it or not, are role models for so many young people. Fining him that amount (which, I think, is the maximum allowed) sends out a clear signal to those who would look up to him that treating an animal like that in front of a child is just not acceptable. It's not about the amount, it's about the message.

There's also a cynical view that says any action by the club might help reduce the chance of Court punishment.

[Dalianwanda]

It was his brother in his gaff not a random 'radge' Kurt Zouma is not a normal dude, hes a famous footballer with influence....Do you think he didnt know he was being filmed? Its lucky he was as now he's been found out & the animals are out of harms way (which is really the important thing).

[Jim44]

I get the impression that some folk here think that just because his club has ‘punished’ him, the matter’s closed. Far from it. The club fine is meaningless in the eyes of the law. If and when legal action is taken, the club sanction won’t be taken into account.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Someone I have never remotely heard of has been fined £250,000 for abusing a cat is just mental and people are actually talking about this throughout social media.

English society and its morals are just weird though obviously this guy and his family members all have serious problems.

I'd expect to be banged up if I posted a video of me leathering my Lab. Brain-dead idiot who obviously doesn't have any empathy. Club was right to fine him 250k. All relative though. He'll just need to settle for another quarter of a million in the bank this month.

[Lendo]

I can’t comprehend how anyone could do this to an animal. I love my cat more than every member of my immediate family.

To be fair, you are focusing on it more than me, i'm puting it out there that a woman tortured a cat for 15 hours and was only fined £250, not jailed as some want Zouma to be.

Do you know what, i have no idea what he will be fined, remember this is his club that have fined him, not the courts.

What i do think though, is £250k is ridiculous, and he will also be punished by the courts, but if a woman can torture a cat for 15 hours, and only be fined £250, Zouma should get similar.

Nothing ridiculous about it.

West Ham would lose a hell of a lot more in loss of sponsorship if they didn't fine him that amount.

You only have to look at who has come out to condemn it so far.

The only reason he he gets paid that ridiculous sum is because companies pay huge sums of money to be associated with big teams like West Ham.

Not many sponsors want to be associated with someone who thinks its okay to do that to a living creature, however.

There's a French law that applies to mistreatment of animals outside France. A complaint has been made against him under that law.

He could get 4 years jail.

[cameronw-hfc]

I sincerely hope the severity of treatment the Greenwood and Zouma and Goodwillie situations are an indication of people taking footballers actions more seriously.

Too many get away with abhorrent behaviour that in any other walk of life would be sackable and end up walking away with next to nothing being done about it. Glad to see action being taken on idiots in the game, unfortunately I doubt it'll continue.

He wont get time in the pokey, they will just make an example out of him and fine him another ridiculous amount of money and it will all be forgotten in a week.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will quite rightly face fines up to £5k.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. That woman was fined by the authorities but we don't know how her employer (if she had one) treated her. It's West Ham who chose to stop Zouma's wages for two weeks but we don't yet know how the authorities will treat him. It's unlikely to be a huge fine in the context of his ability to pay though, which makes it a bit pointless.

More comparable is the teacher who was recently filmed punching a horse - she was sacked.

Great points.

The bottom line here is that his value to his employer in terms of what he can do for them means that they have decided not to do the decent and right thing. Moyes is complicit in this and his decision to play him afterwards is absolutely shameful.

I do understand that, i just think the fine is ridiculous, and if he was sacked he couldnt have any argument, although we all know in football, if he's a good player and worth money, he wont be sacked for doing something like this, but if he was a youth player worth peanuts he'd have been sacked the same day.

His fine wasn’t for kicking a cat or abusing an animal, I very much doubt those clauses are in his contract. What he’s been fined for is bringing the good name of West Ham into disrepute, which is in his contract and is perfect ok and in no way whatsoever ridiculous.

The 'fine' was only that high because he's paid so much - it won't really cause him much hardship. On the other hand the horse puncher lost her livelihood and we don't know what effect the £250 fine had on the cat binner but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it caused her more financial pain than Zouma's £250k.

The whole point of fines is to be punitive and in Zouma's case the maximum possible legal fine would not be and two weeks wages won't be that tough for him either. The public disgrace is likely to be more painful and I can't say I feel much sympathy for him there.

[jacomo]

Zouma has attracted bad headlines for his club, for totally needless, thoughtless and cruel behaviour.

He earns enormous money mostly because media companies pay enormous sums to screen EPL matches. Now those same media companies write negative stories linked to West Ham because of him.

You can bet the club are fuming and probably want to fine him even more.

I don’t think they should have played him the other night either, although Moyes has shown previously he’s a bit deaf to public opinion.

[Since452]

I think he's an extremely lucky boy to still be at the club. If a Hibs player did that to a cat my daughter would be heartbroken and i'd think he was a prick for ever more. In the mad world of the EPL and social media image and PR is everything. That kind of damage to the clubs reputation isn't easy to fix. Like others have said, similar actions have got people the sack in the "real world". Fining him two weeks wages is a superb result for him.

Do you know what, i have no idea what he will be fined, remember this is his club that have fined him, not the courts.

What i do think though, is £250k is ridiculous, and he will also be punished by the courts, but if a woman can torture a cat for 15 hours, and only be fined £250, Zouma should get similar.

No fines. They should both have got a stiff kicking until senseless.

There, that’s better.

£250k fine from the club for what he did is a little extreme in my opinion.

Serves him right - he's a ****ing disgrace - and an overpaid disgrace at that.

As it goes it may end up helping him - and his club - if he ends up in front of a magistrate as a result of this.

Two weeks wages to the idiot Zouma - but more than likely well in excess of any fine the courts would hand down.

Apparently this cat had been missing for 6 months and has now been reunited with its owner.

If that's the case it's even worse - nick someone else's cat and then terrorise it (and teach yer kid to do it as well) - the guy's an absolute moron!

[SHODAN]

His brother, who plays for Dagenham, has been suspended pending an investigation.

If anyone stole and then abused one of my cats there would be hell to pay.
