In the UK, Dagenham footballer Yoan Zouma has been charged under the Animal Welfare Act after he filmed his brother, West Ham defender Kurt Zouma, kicking his cat.
The 23-year-old was suspended by the National League club following the incident last month, but is now available to play again.
In a statement, Dagenham have reiterated how the club condemns "all animal cruelty".
The charity says more information will be provided once a court date has been confirmed.
