Allegations of cruelty to cats in the Stirling area are taken seriously say council officers.
Their comment came in the wake of the “cat kicking” scandal surrounding Premier League footballer Kurt Zouma after councillors asked for assurances that any such incidents in the Stirling area are dealt with by the appropriate authorities.
A video featuring the West Ham United player in his kitchen kicking his pet cat resulted in widespread condemnation when it was posted online. He was later fined £250,000 by the London football club and his cats have been taken into the care of the RSPCA while the charity investigates their welfare.
