Excellent. It's a start. But if the club and the classless wanker Moyes had done the right thing and suspended the cat-kicker, then maybe the club sponsors would not be looking at assessing their relationship with the club.

Hope your cat recovers swiftly and he is purring away again soon.
I've had four cats - all lovely in different ways with different personalities. Our first one we had for over ten years when I was a child/adolescent. Used to be permanently on my bed.
Anyone that abuses animals should be prosecuted by the RSPCA and banned from owning one ever again.

No. You can't apologise out from animal cruelty.

I'm not conflating rape with animal cruelty, but the initial weasel words 'we signed him for football reasons/we played him for football reasons' do suggest a similarity between the respective hierarchies in the Goodwillie case and the Zouma case. I find it worrying that the RSPCA is yet to intervene and the Police appear to have made this a crime they choose not to investigate. I thought charging criminals for their offences was an obligation, not a choice.

Whilst I think that the things that Zouma did were vile, and I have never done anything knowingly to harm any animal of any sort, I do wonder if there is more fuss about this at the moment than there was after the recent Mason Greenwood stuff - girlfriend beating and rape.
But to be fair a lot of it is about people not doing anything - the Club, the Police, the RSPCA.

no need to compare the two and there is no need to say which is worse. Both incidents crossed the line of what is indecent and neither should be representing their club publicly

Think you do answer your own question really... Greenwood dropped like a hot stone by Club & Sponsors and Police doing what they should be doing. Zouma, chastised by the club and then in the starting line up within a few hours, Police doing nothing and [some] sponsors now making some of the right noises but seemingly more to do with the adverse publicity rather than the actual act.
I can be appalled at Greenwood, but generally happy with the response to date and be appalled about Zouma and hugely disappointed in the lack of response. What some posters seem to have struggled with is I can have these thoughts simultaneously... just because I have been vocal about one, it doesn't mean I think it is the only thing wrong.
The Greenwood incident is in the hands of the law. Once he was arrested, the media had to stop publishing details.
In legal terms, you shouldn't pass judgement on a public forum either!

Mason Greenwood, as far as I am aware has yet to be charged, making it almost impossible to discuss his situation and alleged crimes on social media .
Being reported that Essex police are now going to investigate. Presumably only because of public pressure as yesterday they certainly couldn't be arsed to do so.
