You shouldn’t do either, mate.What Zouma did is much less serious than punching a toddler in the mouth.

Nor would I. I'd probably also confront him if I saw it.That doesn't matter. It's your whataboutery I can't accept. There is always something worse happening elsewhere. All you're doing when you point that out is minimising the seriousness of the situation. If I saw my neighbour use his pet for target practice, I wouldn't think 'oh well that's not that bad, somewhere else some sicko is popping his cat in the oven'.
oooh, you're hard.Nor would I. I'd probably also confront him if I saw it.
Disgusting. That poor cat.
What’s wrong with footballers these days?
Greenwood, Avram Grant, Zouma. All despicable behaviour.
I don't understand why people expect footballers to be any less fecked up than the 'average' person. They excel at kicking a ball around and they're no more likely to be nice than the rest of our fecked up society.
They're not a separate species, they're just people.

It's not a line, it's a sliding scale. Some actions are worse than others.
Nah I'd run away if he got aggressive.oooh, you're hard.
You need to be hard to confront someone kicking a cat?oooh, you're hard.
I most certainly think it was wrong. I just don't think it is as wrong as say punching a toddler in the mouth.Well, your initial post gave the impression you didn't think he'd done anything wrong which is why I asked.
I don't understand the need to minimise one thing by stating worse things are happening. It just seems contrarian but you're getting a bit piled on so I'll leave it.
OK well you made that bit clear (that you think they are cnuts), but what do you call the fire-fighter or surgeon saving countless lives whilst also being a psychopath? Or those who have done no wrong (keeping their traits and lack of care/empathy under wraps), who are just navigating the world like any 'normal' person does? Many mirror people and fit in (seamlessly), and others would be non-the-wiser as they haven't actually done anything wrong, are they also cnuts? Are we entering Minority Report territory here?I’m disagreeing with your idea that being a psychopath doesn’t make you a cnut. By any reasonable definition that’s exactly what it makes you. I’m well aware that it’s not necessarily an impediment to a successful career but it’s definitely an impediment to not being a cnut.
Oh, Jesus. I'm getting out of here.You need to be hard to confront someone kicking a cat?
Depends on the cat. If someone was willing to kick one of mine then they're clearly insane, so I'd stay well clear.You need to be hard to confront someone kicking a cat?
Is it ever acceptable to harm defenseless animals?I swear people in the caf the best, most morale group in the world. Bless all of us.
I hope you're rightThe RSPCA get involved first, then if there is a case to answer they will remove the animals, the police usually go with them.
Yeah, I mean who doesn't do a little act of animal cruelty every now and again eh?I swear people in the caf the best, most morale group in the world. Bless all of us.

Political correctness has gone insane. Nowadays you can’t even hurt defenceless animals and make fun about it anymore. What has the world come to? Where is free speech?Yeah, I mean who doesn't do a little act of animal cruelty every now and again eh?

They ain’t defenceless.You've never come across a Canada Goose it seems.
We have a big flight who live on the canal and grass outside my house most of the year. Love baby season.You've never come across a Canada Goose it seems.
So just an apology and a promise to not do it again.. Brilliant..No it's not but that doesn't mean we should end a guys career or get him sacked for kicking a cat.
As a club: Get him to apologize for it, and give him some classes on the protection on animals. Also tell him if he continues to abuse animals after this then he might face a lot more serious consequences.

I'm sure you're aware it's a very broad spectrum, so it's bemusing to see a monolithic term for them from you.

I'd never treat an animal like that and hope that Zouma learns never to do that either.
But there is loads of far more serious animal cruelty happening every day that deserves more attention than this.
That is basically my point. The proportion of the act.I can’t see how there is any mitigation nor does the fact that there are worse incidents, which there are, in any way lessen the level of disgust.
What is interesting is that players that drive whilst drunk, punch humans, racially abuse etc etc can have redemption yet some are talking as if Zouma should be banned from football forever.
Doesn't his dog have cropped ears?
@The Boy you’re absolutely right the met could do with some good pr but they should absolutely never ramp up or divert resources away from and towards investigations purely to appease the public.
