West Ham has fined the international defender two weeks' wages, who himself delivered his cats to the main animal violence prevention association.


The day after the broadcast of the video of Kurt Zouma hitting his cat, the French international defender is caught in the whirlwind of a state affair.

His West Ham club, with whom he had started against all odds on Tuesday evening against Watford (1-0), imposed on him a "

maximum fine equivalent to two weeks' salary

", reveals

Sky Sports,

specifying that this maximum fine is registered in the rules in force across the Channel.

This would equate to around 300,000 euros in salary for the former Chelsea defender, who joined the ranks of the Hammers last summer for 35 million euros.

It should be noted that this sum will not be saved by the South London club, but rather donated to animal welfare charities.

"

The club and the player are committed to cooperating in the investigation conducted by the RSCPA,

" the club said in a statement.

The player has committed himself to deliver his two cats to the RSCPA for evaluation.

Affected by complaints from associations

A few hours after the posting of a petition calling for legal action against the tricolor defender, he was therefore deprived of custody of his cats by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSCPA).

"

We want to reassure people that we have opened an investigation and that the cats are safe and sound, in our custody

," the world's leading animal prevention association said in a statement.

A message loved and relayed many times on social networks, witness to the extent of the controversy surrounding this video of Zouma, against which associations such as the SPA and the Brigitte Bardot Foundation plan to file a complaint.

We are calling for sanctions commensurate with the act and hope that the player will be removed from the France team”,

for its part claimed the PETA association, joined by us on Tuesday.

Holder and boo this Tuesday

Nearly 170,000 people have already signed the petition to "

prosecute Kurt Zouma and move his animals to safety immediately

."

While the second part of the contract seems already fulfilled, the West Ham defender should nevertheless continue to face hostility from the Kingdom, as was the case this Tuesday against Watford (1-0), where the former Stéphanois held against all odds.

The central defender of the Hammers was also booed during the game.

"

I'm really disappointed and the club have taken all the steps they can at the moment and are working on it behind the scenes

," coach David Moyes told reporters.

My job is to try to choose a team that gives me the best chance at West Ham and Kurt was part of that team.

Until possible sanctions.
