Cat-slapper Kurt Zouma facing clearing mucky canals as part of community service
dailystar.co.ukWest Ham United defender Kurt Zouma will be forced to pick up litter and clear mucky canals as part of his community service after his hopes of carrying out activities in private were denied.The £30million centre-back was sentenced by a court to 180 hours of community service after pleading guilty of mistreating his cat.
He has also been banned from owning cats for five years after a horrific video appeared on social media which showed him kicking and slapping the feline.Zouma caused outrage when he subjected the cat to abuse in his £2m home in front of his seven-year-old son, with the video filmed by his brother.
He could be heard yelling "I'll kill it", with the two Bengal cats are now in the process of being permanently rehomed.It was believed Zouma was keen on pursuing the chance to be able to do his unpaid service from home due to a huge backlog as a result of Covid, with some offenders able granted the chance to do so.
But the disgraced footballer, along with his 24-year-old brother Yoan, has been told by probation officers to carry out his service in public, according to The Sun.As is standard with community service, the pair will be facing wearing hi-vis vests and doing chores such as shovelling, picking up litter, clearing mucky canals, painting and covering up graffiti.
