“It is never acceptable to kick, hit or slap an animal, for punishment or otherwise,” an RSPCA statement said.
“We are so grateful to people who report suspected animal suffering to us and we would like to reassure people we will always look into and, if necessary, investigate any complaints made to us about animal welfare.”
According to Sky Sports, however, the Met Police have decided not to investigate the video.
