Kurt Zouma’s two cats have been taken into the care of the RSPCA and the defender has been fined “the maximum amount possible” by West Ham following the mistreatment of his pet. Zouma, who played against Watford in the Premier League on Tuesday night, has been widely condemned after a video emerged of him dropping, kicking and slapping the animal. The RSPCA swiftly rebuked the “very upsetting” video after it surfaced online and will be leading the investigation while co-operating with Essex Police.
