 Animal Charity RSPCA says West Ham United defender Kurt, Zuma and his brother Joanne are said to be charged under the Animal Welfare Act after they posted a video which showed them abusing a pet cat. A viral video filmed by Joanne and posted on social media last month showed Kurt dropping the tabby cat and kicking it across the floor. West Ham said they were aware of the RSPCA statement and said Kurt was cooperating fully with the investigation. The video caused outrage and led to club sponsors cutting ties with Kurt's Premier League club West Ham, while Adidas also dropped the sponsorship of the defender. However, he continued to be selected by manager David Moyes. West Ham said Zuma was fined the maximum amount possible last month, with British media reporting the fine was two weeks wages. Now the 27-year-old who apologised had accepted the fine which was to be donated to Animal Welfare Charities.
