Artist Tries To Raise Awareness About Animal Abuse With These 33 Uncomfortable Illustrations
Interview With ArtistThis artist by the name of milkdongcomics on Instagram creates illustrations. However, those illustrations are not simply art. They have a heavy message behind them—animal abuse. Many of us don't even think about all the ways animals are being mistreated by humanity. So this artist created a project called "Murder Scene" to shock us back to reality.
The art may be uncomfortable for many people, but it's the sad reality of many critters in this world. Perhaps this art will make us rethink our actions and create a world safe for animals. Many organizations are already working towards that. Consider donating to shelters and institutions working to save animals and give them a better life.

Animal abuse is common all over the world. Research shows that animal abuse strongly connects with abuse against people. The most common animals abused are pets, like cats, dogs, and farm animals.
We asked the artist what inspired him to create these illustrations: "I love nature. All of the creatures on the earth are beautiful! Unfortunately, many of them are endangered, therefore, I created a collection of drawings with messages about animal cruelty. The name of the series is "HEY HUMAN, SEE WHAT YOU DO!?" I wanna convey the message to more people through my art, attract more people to raise awareness about the endangered creatures. This is a serious issue!"
There are many forms animal abuse takes: from hoarding too many animals, breeding them incorrectly, to slaughtering them for fur, horns, and teeth, to even organizing fights and pitting animals against one another. Many would argue that there aren't enough laws to help prevent animal abuse; usually, people responsible for mistreating animals are not persecuted.
The artist shared what inspired him to touch upon such heavy topics: "The natural ecosystem is closely linked with humans, so I wanna try my best to do something for animals, the next-generation, and the earth!"
De-clawing is illegal in the UK, with good reason. It’s like cutting off a cat’s fingertips.
"Every time that animals are killed for human benefits, make me very angry!"
There are many discussions about testing drugs, makeup, and other products on animals. Many companies are going the cruelty-free route—however, many believe it's necessary to ensure the safety of the product.
Humans and animals have been inseparable from one another from the very beginning. Animals are a very important part of our lives, not to mention our planet. So please be considerate and report any animal abuse you see, donate, and help this world become a safer place for them.
"The most important message is when the buying stops the killing can too. Humans must wonder what is their needs, they should able to distinguishing between wants and needs. Desire is not essential. Just think about it before you buy, eat and use!"
Milk Dong Comics shared what he does in life: "I enjoy swimming in the ocean, walking in nature with my lovely doggies. Creating art is my job, Hong Kong is a society under commercial pressure and it is hard to survive in it. I had been employed in different industries for livelihood. For example designer, visual merchandiser, art teacher, sales, customer service, ware-houseman, restaurant waiter, fishmonger, coolie, and many more. However, even after all of it I never give up on art!"
oh yeah this species is endangered and there are people just tearing off their skin for no good reason.
I saved my cat when she was feral and although she has feral traits she is loving and kind
This almost got me in tears. Why can't people just let dogs give birth naturally? And if they don't want to, just fix them?
this is a needed comic to counter act the horror and sadness that the rest give you
Lauren Michlin, stop making smart comments. Your just making the rest of us despise you more!
People force feed ducks just to get good liver out of them. It's gross.
Holy hell. As the proud parent of a grey & white one-eyed tailless gimp-legged cat, I don't know! But I'm doing my best. image-2019...e47e2d.jpg
You can’t just ask us to not downvote your dumb comments, if it is offensive we will downvote it.
Ounce again Lauren Michlin, if it’s offensive we will downvote it.
i never thought about this one..all dogs should lead the life they deserve
I think this is for the monkeys in Asia who beg on the streets for food
Apparently, it's inconclusive if they're actually fully extinct. If they are, I hope we can clone them back someday.
Antlers fall off every year. You can actually sustainably harvest them
It all happens where a dog from Thailand accidentally boarded a cargo ship en route to Hong Kong. Their Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department euthanized the dog with the reason that it came from area with rabies outbreak.
Our general approach towards other animals is f****d up, self-centered, self-justifying. Begins with the lie that humans were something substantially different from other animals ... utter nonsense that is! It always is a good idea to take the side of the helpless, the powerless, the suffering - the lame excuses for the many excessive abuses of animals and the pseudo-offended rage with which it usually is yelled around are just the lowest sentiment a human is capable of, paired with inappropriate cinfidence in themselves and their wicked actions. No wonder many people prefer cats, dogs, rats, mice, birds, horses over humans. Humans suck. F**k'em.
I agree, human kind is destroying/has destroyed the Earth and we are the other ones who can fix it. Many people are confusing and animals have a simpler life. LET THEM HAVE THE SINPLE LIFE THEY AND WE HAD. The all caps part is to raise me awareness and not yell at a person in particular, but to society as whole for the inexcusable acts we have done to animals.

Humans are organisms that benefit from depriving nutrients from their host. In this case, our host is the organism known as Earth. Humans thrive by killing the planet they live on." [Source: Wesley M. on Vocal] I agree... and it's the prime motivator for us trying to expand into our Galaxy and beyond... to inhabit and destroy other worlds NOT to become better human beings.
