but NOT a cat lover needs to read the quran..........What did Allah say about animals ???? A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. i hope this gives you an answer SpringTime i don't think you know about this as you say He's a good Muslim

If Zouma has come out and said he is ''a good Muslim'' then I'd take ST's comment as being ironic in intention and understand why he posted that.


However, if Zouma hasn't said that, then, rightly or wrongly, it does read as a general pop at Muslims per se.


I'm sure ST will want to clear up any confusion...

SpringTime you STILL DON'T MAKE ANY SENCE come on let us all know how a man can KICK a cat like a football but be as you say a he's a "GOOD MUSLIM"is this what you have to do kick a cat ???? will a dog do ???

If this was a builder or taxi driver it is hardly front page headlines. Maybe a small section of a local newspaper.


So


1. RSPCA taken action

2. Police may take action

3. Club will take action, but would have been sensible to suspend him straight away


Main discussion point is why he did it, and why on earth it was filmed and put on social media


Even in terms of animal cruelty it wasn't that high up the list, there are far worse stories on animal neglect.


Cut the casual racism

Builders and Taxi Drivers are not in the Public Eye in the way Zouma is.


Kurt Happy Zouma is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club West Ham United and the France national team.

Salary: 1.44 million EUR (2011)


As a Professional Footballer one would expect him to behave as such.

Someone that is looked up to by the 10's x 1,000's that flock to see him play each week.

An Ambassador to West Ham.

An example to young people.


To do what He did and Record it and put it on Social Media is inexcusable.


He was fined ?250,000 ?? 2 Weeks pay. Peanuts to him.

What he did reveals what this man is all about. What he is capable of doing..


West Ham need to dump him.. People have long Memories.

To abuse an animal for "fun" is one thing.

To put it on a well-used social media platform is another.

To do both when you are an extremely well-known and (hitherto) respected sportsman is bizarre and very self-destructive.

I hope he gets fined and loses his livelihood (for a short period of time).

There?s no doubt what zouma has done is wrong.

Personally I think the whole thing has blown completely out of proportion! (I have refused to watch the clip so have no idea of exactly what took place)

I strongly believe this whole story & how it?s has been dealt with has undertones of racism.


People are prepared to hang him literally for his foolish behaviour.

Of course it?s wrong what he has done, he?s had a huge fine which I?m sure nobody has ever been given for this type of behaviour, he?s lost sponsorship deals amongst other things!


I?d love to see how things would?ve turned out had he not been a black man!


Yes he screwed up big time but he doesn?t need to pay with his life!


I have also read an article saying his brother has been suspended by Dagenham & Redbridge for filming the video.

The dickhead laughing brother who filmed it.as also been suspended from his football team Dagenham and Redbridge who play in the national conference league.now that westham are losing sponsors .zouma is suspended.not for abusing the cat but for costing westham money.

There will no doubt be racists piling-in, but I'm sure the vast majority of people are just repulsed by what he did, not who did it.


I blame the club for not suspending him straight away until an investigation was carried out, that way he would've at least been taken out of the firing line for a bit...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
