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.

"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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

Blaming bats for the virus is outdated knowing what we know now. Bats were just a scapegoat for CCP, it is outrageous how the main probable version - the Lab-leak- was immediately dismissed as a conspiracy theory. More than a year has passed and a lot of people still believe that the virus came from bats/wet markets. It shows how easily people/public opinion can be manipulated by using mass-media, distorting facts, playing with narratives and hiding facts. Try digging deeper into the origins of the virus, you'll find a lot of lies that have been promoted, corruption in circles of WHO

Not the bats' fault in the slightest. It's the fault of the people who were killing bats in live animal markets. They f**ked with nature, and now nature is f**king with all of us. So sad.

there are a LOT of illnesses that have bats as resevoirs. Hendra, Marburg, Nipah, SARS, COVID (probably), and Ebola (probably). Still not the bat's fault tho, it's the human's for putting ourselves close to the bats. or for being dumb.

How can bats or any animals be to blame? They didn’t willing throw themselves into tiny cages and knowingly infecting thousands upon thousands of people, that’s on us humans!!! My question is Don’t animals evolve to help defend themselves from predators and dangers???

If the bats hadn't been crammed in cages and their blood mixed with the blood of pangolins, and the blood of every other creature killed in those wet markets, everybody wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Literally no one blamed them. It came from China because their cuisine is...questionable. If everybody washed their hands in the first place and if Chinese people didn't have such a weird cuisine, then Covid-19 wouldn't have been a thing in the first place.

I'm only sorry for those in that country that truly have morals and compassion for animals. They have so much to do and fight for.

Having a "holier than thou" attitude toward what another country considers food and a source of protein and sustenance and you don't is Racism. Why do Americans think we have the God-given right to cram "our ways" down every other country and race's throats? We tried it with the Native Americans and we can certainly see the mess we made of that! Sometimes I really am embarrassed being an American.

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.

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.
