West Ham’s Kurt Zouma and his brother Yoan have been charged by the RSPCA under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 for their part in filming Kurt kicking a cat.
Yoan of Dagenham & Redbridge, 23, filmed 27 year old Kurt kicking and slapping one of his pets.
After the video surfaced, the RSPCA eliminated two cats from Kurt’s house and began contacting Essex Police about the incident.
Kurt continued to play for West Ham despite the controversy.
An RSPCA spokesperson said: “After a full and thorough investigation, we have started the prosecution process against Kurt Zouma and Yoan Zouma under the Animal Welfare Act.
“The two cats continue to be in the care of the RSPCA. We will be in a position to release more information once the court date is confirmed.”
