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.

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)
This is why I like the movie "Ferdinand". It shows the negative effects of bull fighting.
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.
I’m am already crying. FROM THE FIRST PICTURE TOO! This artist is like no other. The only one to use art skills to fight against animal abuse. I wish I could help. I am the biggest softy in the world when it comes to animals.
You CAN help. Just keep up the good fight! Join a local animal advocate group. Stay current on news on the internet. And you can always post on the WWW one excellent pages like BP!
Load More Replies...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!"
It is terrible that poaching for ivory still exists. I need to read more about them, but learned that there is an incredible team of women in Africa called the Black Mambas who work to stop poaching and educate young people about the importance of caring for the environment: https://www.blackmambas.org/about-poaching.html
wait, didn't people stop doing this, well even if not, this is really bad for the animal.
This elephant, thought maimed and unable to defend itself is still alive... often they just kill the animal to take its tusks.
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.
It's illegal over the whole Europe. I can't believe that in the USA is still possible...
Load More Replies...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.
Also when done as a 'behavior modification' (IE: The cat attacks and scratches people) It doesn't WORK. They just start biting people instead.
Load More Replies...This is one of the most cruel and barbarous things to do to a cat. The US should outlaw it. It is against the law in NY and Denver CO.
WTF!? Cannot believe this is allowed anywhere? Never heard of it 😲
Load More Replies...We invited out cats to live with us knowing that scratching stuff up is part of what they do. Our cats are more important than our semi-disposable assemble it yourself furniture.
Cats need their claws for self defence- climbing trees and scratching their attacker. People who want cats as pets need to invest in scratching poles and the like...
Those disgusting people that declaw cats should have the same done to them and then have their hands dipped in salt. Repeatedly. If you do not want a cat to scratch, DO NOT GET A CAT! Your couch is not worth more than a cat.
Thankfully, Germany also banned de-clawing! Along with cupping ears and tails for dogs. It's considered animal cruelty, which it is.
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.
My childhood pet was a cat who after I left home my mom decided she was too much of a burden so she let her go live outside. They had her declawed years before and she died within 3 months from an animal attack. Thanks mom.
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.
Load More Replies...My whole family agreed that if we ever get a cat, we are never declawing it. If you would not like it, don't do it to an animal.
"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.
yas. it was the bat that was the first one to get the virus, but it didnt start it. these comics are making me sad. i usually like comics.... >﹏<
Load More Replies...As an Chinese recently moved to the USA for medical school (about two years ago), I'm sorry. I'm sorry this virus started. We didn't mean for it to spread and we don't mean any harm. I work in the trauma unit but it still doesn't feel like I'm making it up to you or the rest of the world. I'm sorry :(
Jiang, you should not have to apologize for the actions of a select few. I do not believe that anyone knew the sheer scale of this pandemic. Where I live in the UK did not take action until quite late. Thank you for the work that you do in trauma unit and for helping to keep us safe!
Load More Replies...I don't blame the bats... I blame us homo sapiens (ironically Latin for 'wise man') for encroaching on and destroying animals' habitat. Also, there is no need for human beings to eat 'bushmeat' or exotic animals (unless for survival reasons). Recommended read: Spillover by David Quammen.
No one with a brain blames you. However, eating still alive animals is cruel and should be banned worldwide
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?
Load More Replies...Absolutely, happy, live animals do not infect people; only the frightened, tortured, and murdered animals do - nature or some higher power avenged them, needs to do more, sub-human monsters did not get the message.
Load More Replies...Poor guy. THIS SICKNESS STARTED WHEN CHINESE PEOPLE SHOVED 10 ANIMALS INTO A TINY CAGE AND MADE THE ANIMALS STAND IN THERE OWN #2
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!"
Sad thing is, once a race horse's leg is compromised in any way, the horse is most likely looking for retirement (sometimes abandonment).
Horse racing is one of the darkest industries. People have no love for animals, just $$$.
Again, racing in a competitive sphere like this should be limited to willing human beings. Horses, working or leisure, should not be pushed beyond their physical limits under duress for profit and be treated in the most appalling ways.
Why did someone downvote me? Horses hearts can burst when they're raced to hard, the problem isn't only broken bones. https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/horse-care/vet-advice/heart-attacks-in-horses-71227#:~:text=Why%20do%20horses%20die%20during%20exercise%3F&text=When%20the%20horse's%20heart%20rate,weakened%20vessel%20wall%20to%20burst.
Load More Replies...The sad reality of racing is, when the horse is injured, their career ends and is either a breeding horse, sent to a shelter(not that bad) and/or sent to dog food companies, where the horse is slaughtered for their meat
Hundreds, sometimes more, racehorses die every year. Look up the statistics; you will be appalled!
The life-span of a horse is 30 years. So if there are 3000 race horses, a hundred of them die every year. Do you mean hundreds die during racing?
Load More Replies...When I was younger, my mom worked at a Thoroughbred Farm. The horses were owned by people that lived all over the country. The mares were bred every year. The stallions came from high end racing bloodlines so their stud fee's were $$$ 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!
Load More Replies...When I learned of the horrific treatment of these horses, I stopped going to the track.
Seriously its all about the $$$$ taking Ivory from Elephants, Racing horses, & Bull fighting !! Wouldn't it be great if Reincarnation actually happened they would have to come back as the animal they abused...
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.
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.
Load More Replies...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!
I think this needs also include the animal trafficking that occurs. No Reason anyone needs to own a tiger...
Load More Replies...I don’t get it. Why are we worrying about sea turtles which are a Lil bit endangered when this animal is critically endangered and it is okay to skin it for clothes? Just use dang cotton and polyester since idk where it comes from. WHY IS EVERYONE WORRYING OVER ONE SPECIES ?! ALL ANIMALS SHOULD BE CARED ABOUT
Rich people spend a lot of money to kill endangered species in canned hunts for bragging rights and to compensate for their tiny d***s. Human animals should confine themselves to killing each other and leave the animals alone
Humans want skin. Try culling your own f*****g species and using theirs! It can be coloured, stretched, and shaped to many things. Have at it! Dumb f***s! Leave the animals alone!
They actually did this. They just made sure the humans they chose were of a different religion, race or country. Humans are sick.
Load More Replies...Tiger's are such beautiful creatures. They are made to be appreciated and looked at not killed just so you can get money.
I saved my cat when she was feral and although she has feral traits she is loving and kind
I wish you and your fine kitty both long and happy lives you wonderful person!
Load More Replies...Not only feral cats are poisoned... a friend of mine had 3 of their cats poisoned by some neighbourhood psycho. Not sure if the perpetrator was ever caught since my friend moved soon after... but if that ever happened in my neighbourhood I would do some thorough investigating and God help the person when I find them.
Wow that is crazy. My aunts Cocker Spaniels were poisoned by a neighborhood pyscho in Georgia. People are sick
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Someone poison my two cats last year. Frank in March and Frisky in July. Miss them much. :-( Got another last October and trying to keep her inside as much as possible.
Our cat had 2 dogs released on him when he was 5. He lost a kidney or lung.
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.
Load More Replies...Humans are truly heartless. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/australia-cat-cull-sausages-wildlife-outback-a8888071.html
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.
Load More Replies...Humans want skin. Try culling your own f*****g species and using theirs! It can be coloured, stretched, and shaped to many things. Have at it! Dumb f***s! Leave the animals alone!
Start saving your nail clippings and send it to these f*****s! It's the same thing!
Again, driven by desperate, inadequate men who think the horn will help them sexually. It's a myth but it's just another snake oil show. Again, the poachers kill the rhino to get the horn. The human species is a failed evolutionary experiment.
Why don't they get it???? "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing nothing." - Albert Schweitzer
Load More Replies...hol up but rhino horn is made the same material as our nails so rhino horn is basically nails limited edition deluxe
Some people believe that is of you grind it into a drink it has healing properties
It is sad that we do this, but how many of us know someone who is only alive today because of the medicines - whether it's insulin, chemotherapy, anti-coagulants, or whatever - that was tested on animals? We can't say "no to animal testing" unless we agree to never, ever take these medicines or give them to our children, even when the only alternative is death.
I don't need my household chemicals and hygiene products tested on animals... 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.
I have a rat who looks just like him. He is the best rat in the world! Who would ever want to hurt this little guy? 🐁😢 IMG_0073-5...39a9d0.jpg
I have 2 rats that look like that and one that has black spots. I agree, why would anyone want to harm such adorable creatures?!
Load More Replies...This made me cry it looks just like my rat Penny 20200520_1...79f171.jpg
And this is why I check every single cosmetic product I buy to make sure it's cruelty free! That also means no longer shopping large brands like Lancome, etc.
'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.
Load More Replies...Pauline Gallie: stopping animal testing is my first cause since 1982.
"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.
My first pet ever.. MICE..best lil buddies & smart too...Love this Artists work , really making their point which are all valid..
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?
...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.
Load More Replies...Why breed bulldogs and French bulldogs that can only deliver Cesarean pups?
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!
Load More Replies...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.
Poor lil momma doggo.. they use 'em all up until they can't have anymore babies and then leave em for dead at the pound. I am going to get a couple older dogs poor lil things
Blame it on the unwitting or deliberately ignorant people who insist on buying a certain breed of puppy and the unscrupulous, f*cked up individuals who 'farm' them. Apparently a large number of puppy mill dogs (and cats) in the UK come from Eastern Europe. Read this: https://www.dogandcatwelfare.eu/news/dark-side-eu-puppy-trade/
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.
We have just rescued a dog from a puppy farm, they let her go because she was 'only' having two pups at a time.
Proudly reporting that CA banned puppy mills and stores to sell puppies from said mills. Personally, I prefer the love and affection of a mutt and have two puppies I've rescued.
LET LIFE BE NATURAL! Honestly, people should start a “No more animal abuse” protest, and club
Never understood that. Some people feel like dogs need to bread for their own good at least once? No.
This is about puppy mills, not people who think everyone female animal should have at least one litter.

Keeping company with nonhuman animals is probably the only experience most humans will have of unconditional love.

Load More Replies...I really hope they stop capturing animals from the wild to show them off in zoos. It's better to appreciate them in their natural habitats and not as part of capitalism. I also hope they stop forcing them to breed.
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.
Load More Replies...There is a massive killing of dolphins that occurs every year in Japan. Watch the documentary, “The Cove.”
I can't watch things like that... feel heartsick as it is, knowing animals are needlessly killed by the millions.
Load More Replies...NOT DOLPHINS!!! THEY SHOULD SWIM IN OCEANS FULL OF LIFE!!! EVERY ANIMAL SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE!!!! They are my favorite animal.
Dolphins also get killed in trawler and other nets so we can have tuna and other fish to eat... hundreds of thousands of mammals, reptiles and fish are killed as a by product of commercial fishing each year!
If someone has a pet, their also abusing an animal. A pet is nothing more than a single animal zoo.
Load More Replies...Pauline Gallie: I boycott Japan Taji and Faroe Island for years. Sadistic people, who needs them?

In the Faroe Islands during the grind they cut the pilot whales head.
Load More Replies...these sharks die without fins. they need them to swim, sharks always need to keep moving, and without fins, they can't, and die :( its so sad. would you like it if someone cut you arms and feet off, and then didn't care if you slowly bled to death?
They chuck them back in and the shark will sink to the bottom and slowly die, it is awful.
Load More Replies...Humans pose a far greater threat to sharks than the other way around.
Fact: shark fin does not taste good, they just eat it because they think it has health benefits. You know, like rhino horn!
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." [Source: US National Ocean Service]
That is sad. I believe sharks have rights. All animals should have rights
Their fins don't even have any nutritional value, which makes it even sadder.
has nothing to do with nutritional value. belief about virility.
Load More Replies...I ask myself that nearly every day... not just porpoises but all other wild creatures. I personally feel we need to protect all wildlife more... e.g. Elephants that are unwanted in certain places should be transported somewhere 'safer' where they can roam without constant threat. (I haven't figured out where and how yet!)
Vaquitas have always been my favorite it’s so sad how they just keep dying and us humans don’t care.
That’s a Vaquita. Less than 10 left in the entire world, and nobody is doing anything really to help them.
Lauren Michlin, stop making smart comments. Your just making the rest of us despise you more!

Load More Replies...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

China is FINALLY banning the sale of pangolin bits, saying they are "no longer medically necessary". You think?
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

as a child, i always thought declawing cats was like cutting your nails, like how they cut dogs nails, but its so sad. just imagine having your fingertips cut off entirely.
As with the cat's claws being removed, if a person has this done to their pet, they don't deserve to have pets
The cruelty of animal abuse goes hand in hand with violence against other humans; many serial killers start by practicing on nonhuman animals. It's also associated with arson and sexual assaults.
You can’t just ask us to not downvote your dumb comments, if it is offensive we will downvote it.

Load More Replies...It does mention Hong Kong... just scanned an article that talk about police dogs being harmed by teargas in protests. However, in general working dogs are well treated and they serve a critical role in protection/crime prevention (much better than an unarmed police officer!).
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.
They should be but in many countries/states they're perfectly legal. :(

Another cruel invention by human animals who don't care how much they hurt other animals.
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.
Load More Replies...I was once in Shanghai and I walked through an animal market. All the turtles were painted and stuffed in a tiny jar. At first, I thought they were fake ones... but then I realized they were moving... :'(
They put the babies in tiny plastic bubbles and sell them as keychains. Barbaric
Because humans treat nonhuman animals like toys instead of living creatures that are entitled to be left alone in their habitats.
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!!!!
How about the poor little ones encased in plastic to be key chains? I feel sick.
When I was young I painted a peace sign on a turtle before releasing it again... Was that harmful? :,(
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
Load More Replies...For the love of God stop doing these sorts of things already! There is absolutely no need for it...
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. It's vietnamese with English, French and German translation available on the website.
Why does Traditional Chinese medicine have so many strange beliefs of things that cure things when there are less cruel alternatives.
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.
Thank you, Kikka io. I made a partial list above of some of the animals used in Chinese medicine and what for, but not all of them. You added several more altho not what they were supposed to be used for. don't know if you happen to know that, do you?
Load More Replies...I think this is for the monkeys in Asia who beg on the streets for food
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.

Load More Replies...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.
Like, the bag full of bread suggests this to me, rather than zoos which nowadays usually feed a reasonable diet.
Load More Replies...To all those commenters who think this picture is about zoos. It's not. It's about monkeys being trained to steal tourist's valuables,. (see the red bag?). They are then rewarded with food to hand it over (hence the bulging belly and the word EAT on his shirt). https://www.deccanchronicle.com/141229/nation-current-affairs/article/monkeys-trained-steal

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.
Load More Replies...This creature is one of our own making... we've intruded on their habitat so much that they, like us, have become city dwellers. And like us, they prefer 'fast food' to the natural, self caught/found kind...
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
Let's learn right now: Tortoises have feet, turtles have flippers :)
I know the picture is referring to a tortoise but another good point is putting animals in the wrong body of water salt VS fresh or vise versa.

Because we've taken up all the land that you used to live on, dear tortoise... unfortunately many people do not know you are a reptile rather than an amphibian.
Turtles are not amphibians (frogs, toads, & salamanders); they're still reptiles:).
Load More Replies...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.
Apparently, it's inconclusive if they're actually fully extinct. If they are, I hope we can clone them back someday.

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.
Load More Replies...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.
Omg is this true? For all coffees or only those new that nobody should buy anyway?
Load More Replies...You don’t get it, do you? If you stop posting dumb comments and jokes we won’t downvote you.
Their scat can be harvested for the coffee beans without confining them but that wouldn't be profitable enough to satisfy the greed of humans.
These pictures break my heart but the obviously stupid hateful comments hurt more. Horrible people making horrible comments then wonder why people get offended. If you've nothing nice or constructive to say please just say nothing.
How is this bad? You could take this animal in a zoo and sell the poop and donate it to a good cause
Antlers fall off every year. You can actually sustainably harvest them
Yep! Though I assume this is supposed to be a goat, and goats have horns not antlers.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Hey--anyone have a clue what this "Final Score" is at the top of these pics is?
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.
Another human practice to make men feel better about themselves although the killing to get the antlers turns them on too.
It's called a "catch pole" or "rabies pole", just for your FYI.
Load More Replies...Homeless domestic animals are caused by irresponsible and cruel humans.
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.
You know, if nobody adopts the dog they get killed. ADOPT DON'T SHOP!!! RESCUE DOGS DON'T GET KILLED. If you want a dog try BCAA or PetSmart
i totally get why we want dogs off the streets. i disapprove of kill shelters, but a dog in a good shelter where they'll be adopted will have a better and safer life than a stray.
Why is this abusive? You catch strays/ferals to bring them to shelters, where they’re taken care of and maybe adopted. It’s not a bad thing.
They are often killed instead if being taken to shelters

Load More Replies...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.

I'm confused. Who is shaming Dinos? I, and many other people, love them!
I can think of much better things to call wilfully ignorant humans than dinosaurs.
I don't think the T-Rex cares... they were wiped out many millions of years before primates ever appeared on this earth.
