I'm struggling to put into words how I feel about this distressing footage. Truly disgusting actions from Kurt Zouma who is meant to be a role model. No helpless animal should ever be subject to abuse like this. I would like to know how @WestHam plan to punish these actions? https://t.co/ZOPyqFVIxL

They even added that they will deal with the matter internally.
After receiving all this backlash, Kurt Zouma issued an apology for the same. He assured that the cats are fine and healthy. Moreover, he said that the behavior was an isolated incident and will not be repeated again.
His reply is laughable. Apparently this is how you treat a “loved and cherished” member of your family. Gross. pic.twitter.com/rJOfbIJGgd

No apology will excuse what he’s done, hope he’s punished properly for such awful animal cruelty.
Like most Chelsea fans I really liked him & his character. Not now, lost all respect. 👎 pic.twitter.com/MdAP84c673
Kurt Zouma’s career should end today. Those videos are heinous. The captions demonstrate he thought it was funny to kick and abuse his cat. I hope the UK’s new animal protection law applies to him. @WestHam and their fans deserve better.
