Oh, sorry
How much bigger than a cat is a large football player?
Kurt Zouma is 6’3″ and 209 lbs/94.8 kg. An average cat is 8 to 10 lb, and only a few inches high. Not exactly a fair fight.
Police have opened inquiries into a video that shows West Ham’s Kurt Zouma kicking and slapping a cat. They are planning a joint investigation with the RSPCA, which has described the footage as “very upsetting”.
Zouma has now apologized. Because what, he thought it was ok to kick and smack an animal a small fraction of his size until people got mad at him?
Classic moment in the game he played in today, got taken down hard, and when he protested to the ref, the opposing fans had an audible chant of “that’s how your cat feels!”
Lots of other chanting too, I saw in the Graun.
Animal abuse is often one of the factors in a psychopathy diagnosis. In the video his brother who filmed the abuse is also laughing and there is a boy participating, possibly a son or nephew. Three large humans vs. a housecat. I wonder what the boy is learning from this.

Living in a £2m. mansion and can’t find anything better to do. People like this have a lack of values which points to a wider lack of intelligence. Society is then burdened with the task of enforcing rules that they are too stupid to understand internally. The so called ‘apology’ that was required by others, and parroted, includes a promise to “never do it again” and that the cats are “loved.” Maybe if they are supervised it won’t happen again. As for loved, it looks like they might be lacking the capacity for that. The actions betray the words.
twiliter, it so mimics the pattern of domestic violence. Beat the woman up, then apologize to her with tears and assure her she is loved. If that’s love, I don’t think I would want it.
ikn, I think so too. The only difference is that instead of rage, which is usually a component of DV, there was giggling and amusement. Either way, these types of people are dangerously mentally deficient, and I find them intolerable.
In British society he would have been better off kicking his wife/girlfriend than kicking a cat, or dog, or horse.
“He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.”
And more kickable.
Latest news is the the RSPCA have taken all of his cats away. As a charity they don’t have any legal powers to do that and will have had assistance from the police.
