Kurt Zouma | Fined £250k by club and cats removed by RSPCA

[Blue Mist]

Roy Keane crippled a fellow professional and yet he is watched and listened to by millions every week and may yet go back into management.
Joey Barton stubbed a cigar out in a young professional footballers eye and yet we still employed him.
Joey Barton continues to assault everyone and yet he is still employed in football.
Luis Suarez bit a fellow professional but wasn't sacked.
Countless footballers get done for drink driving and no one bats an eyelid, (Yaya Toure for one)
I could go on but I will just say most of you are over reacting. Yes animal cruelty is wrong but look at who we forgive/ignore because it suits us.

Are people still correlating domesticated animals that are sold as pets to be part of a family and loved and cared for and the rewarding responsibility that goes with that, with livestock that is bred as part of the food chain (whether you agree or disagree on moral or other grounds)? The vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, carnivore debate is a different discussion entirely and only serves to seem to mitigate (which I'm sure wasn't the intention - but it does nonetheless), the vile behavior of this prick.

Fishermen are the sickest fuckers out - particularly the ones that just do it for some perverse pleasure and put them back. You only have to look at the angling thread on here to see what those mutants get up to before going home to eat other animals and probably then feigning outrage at zouma for kicking a cat ffs.

Fair enough but at least they catch something. Who the fuck stands balls deep in a river for 5 days for no reason at all ?

With this thread, the woke one and the Neil Young one it’s been quite the week for @Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese
I’ll be surprised if he’s slept more than an hour a day! Haha!

Whether an animal is 'domesticated' or not, they will all feel the same pain and fears. I don't buy into that argument.

I agree with your main point but I do think the Zouma video (especially with the child's involvement) has had more impact with the public and you can't ignore that and the possible damage it can cause to a club' s reputation. You could say the same about the Mason Greenwood audio. I am not suggesting the two incidents are equally serious but I don't think you can ignore the public backlash in these cases.
There was something particulary sadistic about the Zouma video that made it worse than, for example, the recent incident where a rider punched her horse ( that was a quick loss of temper). That woman (a teacher) lost her job and was prosecuted.

All the above are clearly wrong and were not dealt with appropriately. there was just as much outcry around each incident. I suppose the difference is that they were human against human and the victims had some redress or could have reacted differently at the time, after all animals do fight amongst themselves too. The difference here is that a fit, strong man decided to abuse a defenseless, dumb animal that he was responsible for.

Didn't Foden cheat on his wife a few months ago ? are you outraged that Pep played him shortly after? surely that is disgusting! or are you judge and juror of where the moral line is drawn

I've already stated Zouma deserves some form of punishment and it's a police issue - Moyes job is to win games and he picks the best players to do that - if he dropped him yesterday it would still be a major talking point and disrupt the team

Get the fuck off with your whataboutery each incident is totally different, enjoy your three points.

Firstly, not for one minute am I suggesting that Zouma will go on to mistreat a person btw.
I have no evidence to back up my subjective post other than the words of police profilers and clinical psychologists who analyse people who HAVE.
To show no empathy for a living creature is a bad trait. (Apart from that wasp I killed last summer by giving it a wallop across its suede with a rolled up newspaper)

Swede.
