Zouma sentenced to 180 hours of community service for kicking, slapping a cat

London, Jun 1 (EFE).- A British court on Wednesday sentenced West Ham’s Kurt Zouma to 180 hours of community service for hitting and kicking a pet cat.

The 27-year-old had pleaded guilty to two animal welfare offences before central London’s Thames Magistrates’ Court

His brother, Yoan, has been handed a 140-hour community service punishment.

The incident occurred in January, when footage of Zouma kicking his cat and chasing it with a slipper was shared by his brother Yoan, triggering a public outcry.

After the incidents, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) took custody of his two pet cats. EFE
