Cat Debate

Recently in news a footballer lost his sponsorship deal and fined by his club for kicking his two cats. I do not have any pets and I watched the video of his acts online. To be honest I wonder if the punishment balanced what he has done to the cats (they are still alive obviously) 


Of course social media world reacts immediately. Some argues that the punishment is not fair. He is being punished severely because he is black. Another footballer was punished relatively lighter for kicking a human being   

Animal cruelty to pet is one thing but how about legal hunting on African big games ? 


The world -with social media around- is not the place it used to be. Back then taking video and posting it (where?) was time consuming, difficult and well impossible as there was no media for sharing. So what ever people do in their privacy would remain private. Now even company like Adidas had to succumb with the public pressure. Of course people would debate why Adidas seems to care more about cat than human being. Some would even call for boycotting Adidas (I would doubt if it would work moreover the first to suffer if Adidas went out of business would be the factory workers, human being)  

I would not expect this cat kicking news would start a raging fire. I am sure it would be forgotten rather quickly. The media would be busy posting other things. Our attention is pretty short
