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.
"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
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?!

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..
It's not just testing; the pain and suffering inflicted on nonhuman animals in the name of science is a crime against nature. It's also bad science.
I want to jump through the screen and hug it so bad! I WANT TO ADOPT EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL IN THE WORLD!!
The only reason that animals are used to test medicines or study diseases, is because sometimes there is no other alternative... Whenever possible, tests are done on cells in petri dishes, and there is a lot of research on making organ-like tissues. This already works for skin, but for complicated organs (like kidneys) it is much harder, which is why it's not possible. Hopefully, it will become possible though. But for now, if we want to skip the animal testing fase, we have to nearly immediately test on humans. This would cause a lot of deaths, or chronic diseases. So that option is not ethical at all. And for certain studies, it's necessary that the organisms being studies are genetically the same. If those studies would use humans, they would have to use identical twins... But getting genetically the same mice or rats is fairly easy. I agree that whenever possible, animal testing should be avoided. Sometimes it's just not possible. Yet.
Load More Replies...Humans shouldn’t be testing deadly stuff on animals. I have a similar story but with my mom. She was asked to give her dog Blitz for Makeup testing and she refused. So in the middle of the night the company stole Blitz and tested her anyway and she died because of the makeup so then they wanted to see if they could put off a dead dogs head on a living dogs body or the other way around. My mom was shown a photo of the dogs body, head cut off. Really Sad. Don’t test on animals. We should be the ones to test on ourselves. The cruel people should be tested on. So sad :c
Don’t worry, the company got sued for the millions of dogs they stole and killed, but the owners can’t get a new Fido, or Blitz,Max, a little money doesnt make up for the sweet innocent dogs murdered for money.
Load More Replies..."People" eat billions upon the billions of animals, use billions of gallons of their milk and tons of their eggs.....as a direct consequence of this animal protein and cholesterol diet, these "wise" people get all kinds of painful inflammations, diseases, and failing organs (yes, your body has to work very hard to handle all that animal tissue, protein). So what the "wise" "gentle" people do next? One would say, they stop ravaging their bodies and the planet. Oh, no...they will heinously torture more animals in laboratories (even though superior, more reliable, extremely accurate non-animal testing methods are available)...to cure themselves!!!! Don't that make you vomit?
Your comments make me want to eat more meat... I love meat. Live off meat. Eat it everyday with no inflammatory issues. Or really any issues. 32 ys old. Great shape even on the light side of weight. The human body is designed to eat meat. And to help with your arguments, perhaps you should use researched numbers not just billions or tons. And what type of tons? Metric?
Load More Replies...For our final reading grade, we did a debate, my topic was Animal testing. I was on the side against it. I won because there are so many things wrong with animal testing.
We need to! No matter what, ape lives are valued more than other lives. If this medical research will save lives, it needs to be done. Of course, if we have alternatives to animals, we should always use the alternatives, but if we don't, then we need to use the rats!
yea let's just ignore the fact that rats are the reason that there was the bubonic plague ( also known as black death, the plague, the pestilence etc.)
It was from the fleas. So even if a cat had fleas infected with it the flea is what spread it, not the cat.
Load More Replies...NOOOO I HAVE A RAT AND HAD ANOTHER ONE AND SHE DIED. SHE WAS ONLY A FEW WEEKS OLD *SOBS*
Actually, a recent test confirmed that rats like riding tiny cars. Oh, and they love playing hide and seek and squeal with joy when they're found. Some tests are simply harmless. Others, not.
I want to start by saying that I love animals, and rats/rodents in general are some of my faves. That being said, there are certain instances in which it would be infeasible or considerably more unethical to test certain products or drugs on human subjects. I feel that, as long as the animals are bred in captivity for the express purpose of experimentation, and they are treated and eventually euthanized as humanely as possible within experiments expressly designed to limit the suffering and death of human beings or other animals/plants/environment, then it is essentially OK. Think of it as the trolley problem. Do you kill 10,000 rats to save 100 humans, or even one? I'd have to say so, especially if the aforementioned conditions are met, and we show respect for these and other creatures, especially when and where we have encroached upon their natural habitats or have been expressly bred for our benefit.
I am sorry but this 1 is misinformed. Animal testing is largely non damaging/hurtfull to the animanls tested. And the ones that are not, are ethically examined before being authorzed. Animal models to test out treaments are necessary, otherwise we would have to test them directly on humans, which, of course would be worse.
mattiauk, if testing on animals is non damaging or hurtful to the animals tested, so why it would be damaging or hurtful to human subjects? And what the hell it means to be "ethically examined before being authorized.".....for painful testing??? Please explained. Would you be willing to be tested on if it's not hurtful or damaging? Please read the reply to John (above your comment) and Tessa. Animal models are not reliable, there are so many drugs which not only don't work but cause serious health problems and death. Non-animal testing methods are available, they are superior to animal testing, are accurate.
Load More Replies...Test on humans. Those on death row- go for it. Animal testing is too subjective.
I'm sick of hearing how human life and happiness and longevity is worth more than nonhuman life of any kind. Humans evolved just like their fellow animals, and there's nothing (beyond fairy tale religious texts and fanatical ideas) to indicate our superiority. Nothing. You want to test for everything from lipstick to genetic illness and beyond, use death-row inmates who have a last-ditch need to do something decent, or volunteer for when the time comes that so-called governments don't dictate personal choices about life and death. Life isn't sacred in a physical sense, only when the poor body lets go the reality. At that time, everything is easy.
Load More Replies...That anyone would judge the worth of any sentient life is ridiculous.
Load More Replies...That doesn't make it better. If dogs had our genes would we test them? Would you be okay with that?
Load More Replies...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!

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. Humans are Omnivores! Just look at our teeth! Not that it's bad to be Vegetarian/Vegan. I just want the senseless violence to stop.

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.
