- More than 80,000 people sign online petition
- One of West Ham’s sponsors ‘evaluating relationship’ with club
More than 80,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Kurt Zouma to be prosecuted amid a growing backlash over his treatment of one of his pet cats.
The West Ham defender has been widely condemned after a video emerged of him dropping, kicking and slapping the cat, and Essex Police have confirmed they are liaising with the RSPCA as part of their “urgent inquiries”.
