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.
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.
WAIT WE ACTUALLY TAKE THE WHOLE CLAW?! I thought that we only trim it, like with a house cat.
It should illegal everywhere.we cut our cats claws. So that there not so sharp but once every 6 months. And we do it ourselves. I then brush him to calm him
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.
I still can't believe that any vet would agree to do something like this...disgusting 😡
I think it’s like nutering But more fair because the animal can hurt someone
Load More Replies...poor kitties. Humans are more cruel than any other creature. Painful things people do to one another and then to animals too.
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.
Load More Replies...De clawing is inhumane and barbaric, I can't believe it is legal in some parts of America. Its always been illegal in the UK.
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.
People who don't know that are being purposefully ignorant at this point. The information is everywhere- they just want to protect their furniture.
Load More Replies...I rescued a cat that had been declawed. It was awful. Her little feet were so sensitive that she whined with each step. Wish I could have declared her former owner 😠
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.
Load More Replies...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.
The USA seem to have no animal rights whatsoever. They can de claw animals..stick wires in dogs ears to make them stand up..cut off their tails and keep all sorts of "Exotic pets" Thank goodness Australia and NZ follow the UK's laws
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.
Quit declawing cats. It's basically cutting off their fingers. PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION
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.
Load More Replies...Declawing cats is painful for the poor cats that just should be loved and cared for.
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!
All you have to is keep the cats nails clipped. It's quite simple.
Load More Replies...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.
This one makes me sad. My cat was declawed when it was acceptable, and my parents (who got her declawed) still regret it.
I know mant-y shelfish peopele rhink it s okay to save their furniture they r
How about we chop your fingertips off while we're at it then? Since your needs are WAY more important than another sentient being.
Load More Replies...You've got to be trolling for attention. No one can be that cruel to an animal and get on like they did them a favour
Load More Replies..."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
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.

I don't like these. But only because I know they are inspired by truth. And, as with many replies, it really saddens me. I so wish the people that engaged in things like poaching, testing, fighting and racing saw the world through the eyes of the animals they abuse.
Hi! please can I ask you to sign this petition to stop Trumps new hunting laws that allow even baby bear cubs to be killed when they are hibernating and other animals in inhumane ways https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-new-hunting-regulations
Your illustrations should be on every billboard, in every commercial, in every ad so people will be aware.
These are so sad but very well drawn. There should also be more on the cruelty of dogs. Especially as how they are brutally beaten before they are slaughtered for the dinner table.
these are so sad, but my stupid a*s brain somehow found milkdongcomics first and i couldn't stop laughing i feel horrible :(
plz give me back my points, this is the only article I'm hated and it scarred me to the point where I might jump off a bridge. I lost so much self-esteem in this article that I'm crying in my room most of the time. when reading this article, I posted these things as my way of whistling in the dark, clearly you didn't see it that way. You just see me as some animal hater. I'm not!! I just don't wanna cry, k? I like animals, just like you.
These are based on things that have really happened. I don't know the circumstances of some of them, but I know several of them are from recent events.
In Asia, I think, elephants are ridden in parades and tied up with rope at the end. The sad part is, when they are babies, they have a chain tied around there ankle. Eventually, they realize there is no escape, and when they grow up, the thin rope acts like the chain. It really is sad. Also, dairy farms. Stop being selfish jerks and give the baby cows their mother's. And why do people chop off dogs' tails? It does nothing to you. Imagine chopping off your leg. Do you want that to happen? I sure hope not.
They've forgotten the most important and frequent question: "Hey human why you need my meet?"
The really sad thing is that the people who do these things couldn't care less and these pictures won't make any difference to what they do.

Hello, while wishing success and thanks for your good content. I used photos from your site for Instagram page posts. Unfortunately, I did not have the conditions to receive a permit, and my use without my permission has been affected by animal abuse in Iran. The address of my page on Instagram is as follows: https://www.instagram.com/artin_pet_supplies_store It refers directly to your website.
Scientifically, humans are animals, yes, humans are abused too. Be it through childhood, or adulthood with your partner, there are Humans abused, be it mentally,physical,sexual, (ew) or some other. It really hurts to know that not only these poor “animals” we call them, whilst we are animals too, and these days some heartless humans are animals. Why is “animals” Referred to a crazy person. Shaming for no reason?
Today we condemn people from the past (enshrined as statues) for the way they treated other humans; ways which were normal during their time periods. Our great grandchildren will tear down the statues we make today because of the ways in which people today treat animals. We are no better than our ancestors.
Um... Sybil? I think you need to actually read the bible. Animals were made by God, and he put us in charge of caring for them. I do not think everyone needs to be Vegetarian/Vegan.

Animal testing is used ecessively. If we accept for the moment that it can't be replaced in total by now, the amount and the potentially found evidence for whatever still not always come into an acceptable proportion. Research towards animal-free testing could use a better funding for sure, and a closer look when this stuff is getting permission (you can't just do that when and how you like, but must, pro forma, show why you need to ... in many countries) would certainly reduce the amount of it - but there is money in it, money when selling the animals also as money when conducting the experiment for another company - and the stuff found out this way often is way overrated ... sometimes its only effect is combining a drug with a minor effective substance like caffein or so to get new patents - this is a system full of exceptions and holes and excuses. If it wree only for real medical progress, we'd need way less. Most are abused.
