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.

More info: Instagram | Facebook

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.

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.

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.

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.

I once knew a cat who was declawed in early youth, the front paws only. I by no means want to justify this cruel practice - I was shocked when I looked at her paws closely ... you really SEE there's something missing, even years after. This cat was a really competent cat nevertheless - she would climb trees I'd hesitate with intact fingers. That this is not allowed is totally right! Many cats don't get along with sawed off fingers, she may have been an exception (and, finally, was adopted into a loving and caring home - we never knew who did this, her story was pretty sad in many respects ... rescued out of a container for glass, full of broken bottles, ...). Report people who do this! We can't reply in kind, but we can make sure every law protecting animals is not only written but brough into effect.

First they do painful things to animals and then consequentially to each other. - "As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will NEVER know HEALTH or PEACE. For as long as men massacre animals they WILL kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love. - Pythagoras (?570 - 480 BC/BCE) Greek mathematician & philosopher) ...it was true millennia ago, it is true now, and always will be.

I think if cat owners/parents knew what was actually involved, most of them would find an alternative. It's not like trimming fingernails - it's like cutting them off.

If her feet were that sensitive she may have had frostbite at some point if you live in a cold climate. I had a rescue cat that this happened to. A declaring should never cause residual pain unless done by an incompetent Vet Surgeon or a Vet that wasn't licensed to perform the surgtry. I did a LOT of research prior to my 1st kitten's surgery 35 yrs ago.

How would you feel if your fingers and toes were cut off? That’s the same as declawing a cat, making it more likely to fall or get attacked and cannot defend. So now you have a seriously high vet bill because you declawed a cat, besides, it causes a great deal of pain.

Sadly, before I was properly educated on exactly what de-clawing entailed, I had had some cats that lived with us declawed as it was required by our landlord for us to keep the cats. Once I was told what it entailed, I was horrified, and I have never subjected another cat to such cruelty.

I have three cats, and despite having a completely torn sofa, and I am full of small scratches, I would never do such a thing. removing a cat's nails is like cutting a human's fingers. at best shorten them, since they do not have the wood that helps them tear the old ones.

For humans it would be cutting off the last joint on our fingers. Claws are a cat's first defense; many declawed cats start biting; litter boxes are painful for them to use so they start eliminating "inappropriately". Humans should learn to trim cat's claws instead of declawing.

That's funny about the litter box. My first kitten wouldn't step on the torn up newspaper to pee & I was afraid she was going to get sick if she didn't pee. So I switched back to the litter & the little thing jumped in that box so fast & was grateful for the litter after holding for over 12 hours! Plus with so many choices of litter there should be no problem finding one to cat's liking.And a kitten's paws are more sensitive than a cats which is more often the case of the texture issue. That or taken from mother too soon.

My hands are covered in scratches and my carpets are wrecked in places. Threads hang from the sofa and knitwear ends up with pulls. Do I care? NO. It's part of owning cats. They're happy, healthy and pain free (and a little annoying for ignoring their multiple scratching posts, pads and furniture). The only thing that needed removing were their balls!

My family had to declaw one of our cats because he was too violent. The only other option we had at the time was sending him back to the shelter where he would be euthanized. My parents would never consider declawing a cat unless it was for medical reasons, or if the only other option to deal with the violence was euthanasia. Both of my parents regret having to do it. That cat now has decided that my father is his personal sleeping place and that everyone else’s food is his.

I have had severe allergic reactions from people's cats that have scratched me. I mean Astma attacks not responding to medication allergic reaction. And the welts were HUGE - the size of bee stings. If people are so dead set against declawing then they need to take better care of their animals and regularly trim their nails for those of us that could literally die from a cat scratch.

I’m torn with this... I wasn’t going to declaw my cat... but then I’d come home from work and find him crying cuz his claws got stuck in something and he couldn’t get them out... this happened ALL the time. He’d lick his claws and bite them cuz they were always mangled up from whatever he got them stuck in.. until finally I declared him fully. He’s never been happier.

"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!"

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.
