West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has pleaded guilty to kicking and slapping a cat.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts under the Animal Welfare Act when he appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court in east London on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Zouma was forced to apologise after harrowing footage was filmed and shared by his younger brother Yoan, 24, who admitted one offence during the hearing.<\/p>\n
Hammers defender Zouma arrived at court in chaotic fashion, accompanied by several security guards who emerged from a vehicle holding umbrellas to form a protective shield around the defendant.<\/p>\n
The brothers’ addresses have been withheld following a court order.<\/p>\n
The court was told about disturbing footage of the incident, filmed at Zouma’s home and posted on Snapchat by his brother on February 6.<\/p>\n
It was later seen by a woman who had been messaging Yoan, who raised the alarm.<\/p>\n
Zouma could be seen volleying the Bengal cat across his kitchen, before throwing a pair of shoes at it and slapping its head.<\/p>\n
