Michail Antonio has questioned whether West Ham United teammate Kurt Zouma 's abuse of a cat is worse than racism.
Zouma sparked outrage after being filmed kicking and slapping his pet cat earlier this week, with the club fining him a "maximum amount" of £250,000 - reportedly two weeks' worth of wages.
And while the Frenchman is co-operating with the RSPCA, who have taken away his two cats and are liaising with Essex Police about the incident, fellow West Ham star Antonio has hit back after some called for him to be sacked.
