For me, I have found it difficult to fathom why the reactions toward West Ham defender Kurt Zouma have been exaggerated to this point.

What point do I mean? The point of him losing his Adidas Sponsorship, getting a fine of 250,000 euros, and potentially being set to lose two weeks of his salary. For what? Kicking a cat.

Animal Slaughter statistics in the U.K

According to U.K animal statistics, 2.6 million Cows, 10 million pigs and 14.3 million sheep and lambs, 80 million fish and 950 million birds are killed yearly for human consumption.

What is the point? These animals are killed in their numbers and people do not care. But where do they draw the line? On the fact that a black man kicked a cat. Is that not utter hypocrisy?

More statistical details

In this same England, Horses are whipped and traumatised in the name of sports, chickens slaughtered daily for burgers, animals taken from their natural habitats and locked in the zoo.

Still in the UK, humans are licenced with guns to kill birds, deers and foxes. Yet they draw the line because a black man kicked a cat. If ever you look for the definition of racism, that is it.
