*** Update on viral footage of cats ***
We'd like to reassure people that we're investigating and the cats are safe and in our care. We have been dealing with this since before the clip went viral online and need time to conduct our investigation.

We are a charity but we have to act in a similar way to the police in the way we investigate any matter, following proper legal processes. Investigations do not conclude overnight and there is often work going on behind the scenes that we're unable to update people on.

Please only call our national cruelty line about this if you have fresh information, so we can continue to receive calls about other animals in need of our help.


Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals

West Ham FC confirmed Zouma has been fined two week's wages which will be donated to animal welfare charities.

West Ham United can confirm that the Club is supporting an RSPCA investigation into the actions of Kurt Zouma in the video circulated online this week.

Kurt and the Club are co-operating fully with the investigation and the player has willingly complied with the steps taken in the initial stage of the process, including delivering his family’s two cats to the RSPCA for assessment. Kurt is extremely remorseful and, like everyone at the Club, fully understands the depth of feeling surrounding the incident and the need for action to be taken.

Separate to the RSPCA’s investigation and pending further sanction once the outcome of that process is determined, West Ham United can confirm that Kurt Zouma has been fined the maximum amount possible following his actions in the video that circulated. The player has immediately accepted the fine, which both he and the Club agreed will be donated to animal welfare charities.

West Ham United would like to reiterate our condemnation of Kurt’s actions and make it clear that the matter continues to be handled with the utmost seriousness. However, we believe it is now important to allow the RSPCA to conduct their investigation in a fair and thorough manner, and will be making no further comment at this stage.

Sponsors have also stated that they are reviewing their relationships with both the Player and the Club.

Experience Kissimmee strongly condemns the actions of player Kurt Zouma. We will be monitoring the situation between Kurt Zouma and West Ham United, as we as an organization, community, and destination in no way condone animal cruelty.

It was disheartening to learn that the player Kurt Zouma was part of the starting line in West Ham United’s game tonight. As we wait for further information from WHU, we will be evaluating our relationship and sponsorship with the club.

Vitality, Adidas pull out of deal

However, West Ham wellness partner, Vitality has suspended their sponsorship of West Ham with immediate effect because of the club's handling of the Kurt Zouma incident.

We were very distressed by the video we have seen of Kurt Zouma. At Vitality, we condemn animal cruelty and violence of any kind.

We are hugely disappointed by the judgement subsequently shown by the club in response to this incident. As such, we are suspending our sponsorship of West Ham United with immediate effect.

We will now be further engaging with the club to understand what actions they will be
taking to address the situation.

Blacks no wan learn.. The whites don't care about you.

Looks how they're too fast to react but when it comes to racism, they'll be slow like snail.

People out here fighting for cats’ rights in the name of animal rights but still eat meat. Double standards. If only they knew the conditions the animals are killed in.

What on earth is wrong with most black celebrities? I still don't understand why most of them cannot stay without attracting scandals to themselves. Even without being an animal lover or advocate there is nothing funny about that video

Hypocritical Westerners!

TONY BLAIR killed and maimed millions of innocent HUMAN BEINGS in Iraq with his lie of Saddam having weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

They rewarded BLAIR with a KNIGHTHOOD!

KURTS ZOUMA slapped a CAT for defecating on his bed.


They PUNISH Zouma for this.

What is worse?

Some Nairalanders still hail the Westerners as champions of rights!

Nna fame is good oh, but a lot of things come with it.
Someone who isn't a celebrity won't be going through this because of his cat. At least not to the level of being stripped of sponsorship deal.

better think twice before you pray or fight for fame. Just make your money quietly and live a peaceful life.

Small thing your career done off.

This generation and the use of phone is getting disturbing, oxlade na yesterday.

If them no on their camera life never start angry

What's all this nonsense of small thing brands will start pulling out, it's obvious they're not happy with the money they're giving the individual or what.

Cos the whole thing is now looking like clout chasing.

Any small thing everybody wants to cancel everybody over small thing.

I hate the hypocrisy and cancel culture of the internet.

If Zouma really hated his pet, he wouldn't have gotten one in the first place — why is the internet community coming at him like as if he is a terrorist who had just bombed Madison Square Garden full of people?

Who would tell me, they haven't for one reason or the other kicked an animal before — in a hate love relationship kind of way?

I hate the internet and modern day cancel culture.

Hypocrites.

Once you are in the western world, understand this hierarchy of priority and know peace.

Juveniles/minors….0-17yrs

Woman

Tax

Animals

Oldies

Lastly Male

The gravity of your punishment depends on the level on the hierarchy
