This 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.

It's a shame! As a french i'm really sorry that it still exist here on behalf of regional exception (like rooster fights). We are struggling to ban this atrocity because a lot of politicians, powerfull people are involved in those, there are some animal scientists lobbying for that too, with nasty arguments. (May them rot in hell, tortured by bulls)

All 'sport' that involves animals fighting people or other animals must be banned outright in all countries on this planet. At least human boxers, wrestlers, MMA and other martial arts fighters have a choice to fight...

They should do it like the ancient Minoans: Just have the courage to leap over the bulls instead of systematically desanguinating them so they are too weak to fight. Super pussy "sport"

So many people in Spain and South America have been speaking out against this supposed "tradition" and calling for it to be banned. I always like to root for the bulls at the infamous festival of the "Running of the Bulls" in Pamplona, Spain.

Bull fighting is the first animal killing I watch on the tv. But some people romanticise it (take a bow by madonna) and I was very young at that time. I thought the bull is still alive and the matador oozes with their manliness. Now that I'm a grown up, I feel sickened when I found out that the bull always get killed if the matador is good. I want to curse them. Their tradition is evil.

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!"

    Declawing cats is horrible, it's like cutting off your fingers at the last knuckle so your nails can't grow. It can also make it painful for cats to walk the way they're used to, which will set them up for joint problems and even more pain down the line.

    I have a confession to make. I once had a cat declawed. Front paws only, but that was enough for me to realize how horrible what I had done was. (I can't believe the vet suggested it.) And I will never do it again.

    A few years ago, I found a declawed cat outside that some a*****e had released to fend for itself. I wasn't able to take it in (already had the max cats the landlord allows), so took it to the humane society. All the cats I've adopted, if they came with claws, they've kept them (one was a front declaw when I adopted him). Regular claw trims, scratching posts, and furniture that they either can't get their claws into or that you're willing to accept a cat scratching.

    "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.

    Not all cultures see dogs as pets. Some who are very poor see dogs as a means to staying alive. A form of protein. Sustenance. When it is taken away by "dogooders" are these "dogooders" ready to step in and supply an alternative protein source?

    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.

    When I was younger, my mom worked at a Thoroughbred Farm. The horses were owned by people that lived all over the country. The mares were bred every year. The stallions came from high end racing bloodlines so their stud fee's were $$$ I used to spend my summers here when school was out. My favorite horse was one of the Stallions. His name was Leave Seattle and he was a really beautiful horse. I grew up and ultimately left my hometown. One day, I started thinking about the farm and Leave Seattle. I got curious and searched him up to see if he was still there. He was not. I guess he was getting too old to breed with the mares. The owner didn't want him anymore and sent him to auction. Luckily a Rescue Group that saves race horses saved him. But from the time he left that farm to the time he made it to the Rescue, his life was just, ugh. I felt so bad. But that's how these horses are treated. Once they can no longer "make money" for the owner, they throw them out like trash :(

    I also want to add that when these horses are sent to "auction", it's usually for slaughter. The owner still tries to make some profit off of them, even if it means they are being sent to their death. It's sick and disgusting and I will always be against anything and everything to do with Horse Racing!

    This is an excellent example to use against "old people" who feel that possessing animal skin conveys some sort of status that should be respected. Or the other "old people" who feel that owning ivory is a status symbol, or who think that Rhinoceros horn will help them get it up. It's 2020, there are far better ways to show off decorating taste and alleged virility than to strip animals of their lives.

    No need for human beings to wear the pelts of wild animals anymore (not for hundreds of years)... except for maybe the indigenous peoples of different continents- but that is a whole different matter. Fur farms need to be shut down too- just because it's "only" a rabbit or a mink, doesn't make it right! Wild animals should also be left alone. We do not need their fur!

    It's one of the reasons my cats have been raised as indoor cats. I live near a busy road, that's the main reason. But these days people are so f****d up!! A town 6 miles from me had a cat caught in an old gin trap last week (illegal in UK since 1950s). Poisonings & shooting with BB guns and even beheadings I've heard of. One of my cats is so loving & trusting I dread to think what people would do to him. My babies are much safer protected and surrounded only by those who love and care for them.

    You are following G-d's directive in the Torah or The Old Testament when He directs the First Man to have dominion over the animals. Most people think "dominion" means "to dominate". What it means it to care for, keep safe and treat humanely. So, by keeping your cats inside you are giving them the best life possible. You are a blessing to your pets as they are to you.

    The building next to us used to me an auto shop that my dad worked at so our cat always went over there, the boss retired and sold the property. My dad told these people to not set out rat poison because she goes over there but they did it anyways and she died.

    Why are all those comments below down-voted? We are jerks - collectively, we do not take care of our animals. - It takes a long time for feral/stray cats to trust humans, it took mine almost 10 years to truly trust me, after that, she was all over me. Yes, they are sweet. Before you down-vote someone's comment tell us why.

    Here's the thing with that... Humans brought cats to Australia and let them loose in an environment where the wildlife was not evolutionarily adapted to such a predator. I would rather protect hundreds of species from threat of extinction due to a human-introduced pest. It's similar to how the evolutionary balance was upset here in North America. Elimination of wolves from the landscape radically altered the flora and fauna of the region, overabundance of prey animals, and their feeding habits have caused far more problems than the wolves ever did.

    Certain rhino species have evolved and are no longer growing their horn, however it is probably too late to save them from extinction since only one male survived poachers.

I know they are toxic, irritant, flammable etc. Just because some people are morons and injure/kill themselves by accident or on purpose and companies are scared sh*tless of lawsuits... Medical research is a slightly different matter BUT animal testing should not be used as extensively as it is now.

    'Cruelty free' products not only spare the animals suffering, they are truly safe for our skin. Those companies who test on animals do so only to find out how much of bad, harmful...and cheap ingredient they can put into their products so it would be impossible to trace those harmful substances back to them.

    "Cruelty-free" products are using chemicals components that have already been deemed safe from previous testing. I know the company itself is not testing its final product, but this is misleading to say it is not tested at all and the company saves much money not having to do testing - not sure if they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

    ...because some dogs are so genetically 'deformed' that they need a caesarian to give birth. Giving birth naturally will kill them and the pups. Think on that when consider, getting pugs, and those small dogs you love to carry in your designer purses.

    That is the only way they can safely deliver. These new generations have gotten bigger and bigger, especially their heads despite not being able to breathe. So then their big heads can't pass the vaginal canal and need c-sections. Very sad and super greedy!

    Puppy mills are a nightmare and exist only because people can make easy money by forcing constant pregnancies on the mothers to get as many litters as possible as quickly as possible. The mothers are kept in filthy, cramped cages, often with only wire mesh to walk on or lay down on, only enough food and water to keep them breeding, no medical care because that would cut into their income, no freedom, no attention other than taking the pups as soon as weaned, and when the mother can't produce anymore, they kill or discard her. People who run puppy mills are on the same level as poachers - one of the lowest forms of life on our planet.

    This is why puppy mills suck, they can die during birth, because nobody is tending to them or they give birth till they can’t anymore. Then they are killed off. Disgusting. We should lock those hoomans in a cage to give birth until death and neglect them.

    I believe this bit of artistry is referring to dolphins killed by boat propellers. Also, many zoos worldwide are contributing to efforts to restore populations of species which are in decline thanks to human development. Also, it would be extremely rare for a zoo to have an animal which was captured in the wild explicitly for delivery to a zoo. Many 'new arrivals' are rehabilitated animals deemed unsuitable for return to the wild, or otherwise rescued from animal traffickers.

    Again, another thing we do NOT need to eat as human beings... leave their fins good and well intact, regardless of their conservation status! And for those jokers who say they'd as soon eat us as we them, sharks actually prefer fish and ocean mammals. Read this: "Only about a dozen of the more than 300 species of sharks have been involved in attacks on humans. Sharks evolved millions of years before humans existed and therefore humans are not part of their normal diets. Sharks are opportunistic feeders, but most sharks primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Some of the larger shark species prey on seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals."

    There's a lot of people who do this on here. The comment sections of BoredPanda are a massive source of cringe and clout-chasers.. This one is really bad because they're trying to get internet points for making jokes on an article that shouldn't be joked about.

    I only recently learnt about pangolins... they are an endangered species, which makes their situation even worse. Apparently China has started to put a ban on hunting these creatures, but unless they are capable of enforcing it, it will continue... Honestly, I just don't understand human beings sometimes.

    I learned about that recently myself, it's also theorized that the illegal killing and using pangolin scales for medicinal use could be a cause for the virus, I don't blame the pangolins I blame the people

    I read that it was a pangolin. The only mammal with scales. The monster wanted animal. They are big in the animal traffic trade for meat and scales. The scales supposedly have medicinal properties. Equivalent to biting your nails

    If you read the "Hong Kong" comment at the top, the dog is speaking about the Hong Kong police who have denied accusations that their dogs have either died or fallen sick as a direct result of tear gas being fired during the anti-government protests, not during war time. A completely different thing.

    here I disagree. Police dogs are much loved by their human companions, and are very useful both in the fight against drugs (and anti-drug dogs are not drugged) and in the fight against malvival. and also retire to the home of their human companions. they are not mistreated, but rather treated as valuable aids.

    And the fact that these traps are indiscriminate should make them illegal. It doesn't matter if it's a wild boar, a coyote, a mink, a deer, a family cat or dog or a child that steps into it. The thing snaps shut and maims whatever gets between those savage metal jaws and holds tight until someone comes along to open it, until the creature inside the trap gnaws its trapped appendage loose and escaped (often to die elsewhere) or simply dies of exposure for those idiot trappers who don't follow the law to check their traps every 24 hours.

    If you catch a wild turtle, paint it, and set it back free, it will probably die quicker because it won't be able to camouflage. DON"T PAINT TURTLES!!!!

    Huh, I didn’t even know people painted turtles. 🤔 Definitely seems very harmful with all the chemicals in the paint, not to mention if they release them into the Wild they won’t have their natural camouflage for a long while.

    Bear bile has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years. It contains high levels of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) known to be useful for treating liver and gall bladder conditions. However, there are now many readily available herbal and synthetic alternatives with the same medicinal properties

    Bear bile is used by some traditional Asian medicine practitioners for the ursodeoxycholic acid it contains which is used in treating gallbladder and liver ailments. The bears are kept in captivity to "harvest" the bile their livers produce and their gallbladders store. Surgical "harvesting" causes severe pain, infections, and suffering to the bears although some purveyors install permanent ports from the gall bladder to the outside to siphon off the bile as it becomes available. It's a horrible life for the bears. Asian black bears are dwindling in numbers due to humans parting them out so unless this trade is made enforceably illegal, the purveyors will be looking to exploit other types of bears, like the American black bear. You would think the acid could be synthesized in a lab instead of imprisoning and torturing bears.

    http://tamdaonp.com.vn/ this is the link for the bear rescue centre in tam dao, Vietnam. They rescue sun and moon bears and educate people. The bears are kept on farms because of their bile or they lose their paws in traps because paws are used for traditional soup.

    Bears don't make gallstones since they hibernate. Their bile composition doesn't precipitate which is why it is thought that it can help with gallstones in human. Hence the medication name is URSAdiol... ursa as in bear. Cholecystectomy and dietary changes are way more affective, not to mention less horrendous than caging a bear stealing its bile.

    this thing of traditional Chinese medicine is becoming a serious problem for the whole world. they can be treated as they wish, but bear bile, tiger's penis and paws, rhino horn, turtle carapace, seahorses, shark fins, snakes, monkey heads, skulls of gazelle, the mouse cubs used to make a wine, the lizards, are all ingredients of oriental medicine, which is disinterested in the animal which is slaughtered or defaced only for these beliefs. and there is no scientific evidence on the real functionality of these medicines.

    This picture, for confused people saying ZOOS ARE BAD, its for people who FEED ANIMALS HUMAN FOOD. Fun Fact About Zoos MANY Are Helping To Keep SPECIES Alive Since People In The Countries They Come From Dont Care Enough To Prote The Animals Habitat OR They Actively CONTINUE To Hunt And Kill The Animals. For Example TIGERS. WITHOUT ZOOS TIGERS WOULD ALREADY BE DEAD AND EXTINCT. Zoos Are Not BAD. They Help Educate Kids And Light A Fire Of LOVE In Them For Protecting And Preserving Animals. Zoos Do Not Give Them PEOPLE Food. Places That Use Animals As TOURIST Attractions And ALLOW People To Feed Them People Food DO And They ARE NOT ZOOs. REAL Zoos Have Zoologists And Trained Professionals That Care For the animals. FAKE Zoos DO NOT. And People Are Often Allowed To Feed And Even Pet The Animals In Them. ALSO When People Are Allowed To Feed WILD Animals, This Makes Them Think ALL People Will Treat Them To Food. Then They Get Hurt OR Even Killed By People Who Dont Care See Them As Annoying.

    I feel like people are missing the point by saying it's about zoos. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's about people feeding monkeys (especially tourists) in places where monkeys have become a sort of "urban animal" like in a lot of south Asia. There are a lot of monkeys that will hang around people in tourist areas to "beg" for food, or just steal it.

    That was not in a zoo, and that was not even in the United States. That was a 6 yr old Orangutan named Pony in the Philippines who was fortunately discovered and taken by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation UK where she is slowly learning to overcome her trauma and how to become an orangutan and, hopefully, be able to be put into a troop with others to live out a somewhat normal life.

    Again, it's a man-made problem, but the animals don't know any different. They weren't raised in the wild, they were raised by humans, so they can't be returned to the wild. Now, places that are working toward returning endangered species into the wild--either zoos or special facilities--work hard to make certain that those animals have minimal interaction with humans. For example, the California Condor went extinct in 1987 and the San Diego Zoo has been working to return them to the wild. They have successfully reintroduced approx. 210 back to their natural territory. And that is just one example of one place, and one species. CAL-CONDOR...31988a.jpg CAL-CONDOR-5f328ae31988a.jpg

    This is called “放生,” "fangsheng," or "mercy release," and is a Buddhist tradition. They do it with many different animals but these guys often bred exclusively for it, or taken from their natural habitat. Sometimes if they're released where they can live, then the sellers go and find them so they can sell them again. Not only is it condemning any animals who people mistakenly put into salt or fresh water (whichever kills them), but also can cause problems where non-native species are introduced to ecosystems. The animals that are released are often stressed or too exhausted to protect themselves.

    the indigenous people who were forced to work coffee plantations, but not allowed to pick beans for their own use. The Civet in wild will pick the choicest beans and eat them, they digest fruit but only partly digest the bean. Real civet coffee is picked out of the poo in the jungle and doesn't harm the animal. It tastes better for some reason apparently.

    For those who lack empathy or do not know how Google works: civets are overfed and forced to digest copious amounts of beans, which contain caffeine. Your "great coffee" is made by making an animal suffer and die in pain, all the while staring out of a cage. Their hearts cannot handle the caffeine. So, Lauren, educate yourself before making disgusting comments about "perfect coffee". Nobody cares if you are under 20. That is no excuse for blatant ignorance. I really hope you are just a troll that gets off on mean comments and not actually such an awful person as your comments make you appear.

    If they were sawed off, it's a problem... if they fell off, not so much. Read: "Antlers are dropped, or cast, and grow back over a period of months while covered in a furry skin called velvet. When growth is complete the velvet is rubbed off and the antler is described as clean." [Source: The British Deer Society]

    Male deer are often farmed for their 'velvet' it is not just the velvet coating but the whole early growth of the antler before it hardens & the velvet is rubbed off by the deer. The velvet'" is cut off above the pedicle & another antler will grow the following year. In New Zealand this is a fairly common type of farming. The deer are held in a padded 'crush', the deer has pain killer (the same as dentists use) injected around the base of the antler & it is cut of with hydraulic shears. A second cut is taken a month or so later, otherwise the deer have quite a pleasant live living in large paddocks.

    I believe the point of this--tho not positive--is for those hunters who kill deer simply for their antlers, altho they usually take the head. But either way, the deer is killed and all that meat goes to waste, all for a rack of antlers, and maybe a 'trophy" for your wall. Barbaric.

    People are responsible for stray dogs and cats... if they made sure to get their pet neutered, there would be fewer unwanted pets. If they did their research and figured out how much it costs to keep a pet (beyond food/water and walks in the case of dogs), they would probably not take on a pet if they were held accountable for the animal's well-being.

    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.

    Is this one somehow related to Yulin dog meat festival June 21?

    No, it says hong kong at the top. its about how the police used dogs in tear gas, and a lot of people were concerned for the dogs health.

    I can only respond to Amanda Appleton's comment from here, since I can't respond under her posting--unfortunately, the only way to "check" an animal for rabies, aside from a 10-day quarantine to see if it develops any signs, is to euthanize it, then cut off the head and examine the brain. If it turns out not to have rabies, the poor thing is already dead, and all you can say is: "oops".

    A dog was euthanized because it came from an area with rabies.

    B********y or Zoophilia is an immoral and illegal (in most places) human sexual behaviour... animals CANNOT GIVE CONSENT. There are a lot of sick people on this planet.

    This is a Tyrannosaurus. Tyrants among people are despots, those whom they fear and hate. The tyrannosaurus asks not to use his name for bad people.

    This is too much PC... And ridiculous, it's not because you stop using certain 'bad' words that what they stand for will go away, people will just start using euphemisms instead. And maybe think the situation has gotten better while it hasn't and this is even worse. Despotius rex anyone?

    I don't think the T-Rex cares... they were wiped out many millions of years before primates ever appeared on this earth. Neil deGrasse Tyson said in a program ("The Universe") I watched today that we have the mass extinction event(MEE caused by an asteroid) that wiped out the dinosaurs and a whole lot of other species to thank for making human evolution possible.
