The insurance and investment company Vitality have said they are suspending their sponsorship of West Ham over the club’s response to a video of footballer Kurt Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cats.
West Ham condemned Zouma after a disturbing video emerged of the player abusing the animals, only for manager David Moyes to select the defender in his starting team hours later for the Premier League match against Watford on Tuesday. Moyes defended his decision by stating that it was his job to select the “best team” available.
