EASTENDERS actor Danny Hatchard is furiously boycotting West Ham after Kurt Zouma was videoed abusing his cat in a horrific video.
Animal-lover Danny has supported the Premier League team his “whole life” but refuses to continue backing them unless Zouma is sacked.
The soap star, 30, has shared his strong feelings in a furious rant online, branding the defender a “c***”.
After watching the appalling footage, which shows Zouma kicking and slapping his defenceless pet, Danny raged: “West Ham my whole life, and will be til the day I die.
“But I refuse to watch and support another game for as long as this C*** plays for my team.”
Danny finished his emotionally-charged post with the hashtag: #KurtZoumaAnimalAbuser.”
Fans have praised the EastEnders star for sharing his stance on the social media platform.
One replied: “Thank you for speaking out! Shame on @WestHam.”
Another told Danny: “Really appalled at this. Not known about it until you posted.”
FANS CALL FOR JUSTICE
The Sun exclusively revealed the disturbing footage of the abuse and it has sparked anger across the nation.
The France international is seen volleying his poor Bengal cat across his kitchen before chasing it across his dining room with a pair of designer shoes.
He then slaps the cat across the face – and out of a small child’s arms – before it scurries off in terror.
Laughter can be heard throughout the horrific Snapchat video, which also has ‘crying with laughter’ emojis plastered over it.
Scores of sickened football fans and animal lovers have now inundated animal welfare charity the RSPCA with complaints about the cat-abusing West Ham ace.
More than 13,000 people, meanwhile, have signed a petition calling for justice.
The Premier League defender could now face a criminal prosecution if the charity deems his kicking and slapping of the helpless pet illegal behaviour.
Zouma, 27, last night apologised after the emergence of the sick clips, which were filmed at his £2million house on Sunday afternoon.
West Ham says the matter will be dealt with internally.
