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!"

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

This elephant, thought maimed and unable to defend itself is still alive... often they just kill the animal to take its tusks.

Poachers kill elephants before they take the tusks, then leave them to rot where they felled them. Crime against nature.

Disturbing isn't strong enough...the image is devastating and makes me want to take out my weapon and do some poacher hunting. Better yet...after you catch them, you start pulling their teeth...without Novocaine.

poachers (the ones that kill the animal) are not the rich ones... the ones that buy the ivory are 0

Seriously, though. Taking an animal's teeth is just wrong. At least wait until it's dead...AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO KILL IT!!!

Humans shouldn’t be taking other animals teeth for clothes or weapons. We should take human teeth for a weapon

This is a 2 part resonse. First is to clarify. Yes. Elephants are killed for their tusks. The tusks are either completely removed or sawn off. However, elephants are evolving on their own and growing smaller tusks. So they may be saving themselves. And part of what poster Jim Lang said was correct. Conservationists are removing tusks from Living elehants by sawing them off pre-relatively.

All animal abuse should be an automatic death sentence for all! I don't give a f**k if it's a kid or an adult! There is no law strong enough to stop it! Death only to all who do will end with those f*****s! They won't be missed. Once an a*****e no matter the age always an a*****e!

Note: there was a down vote. However my upvote negated it but my reply is in regard to the downvoter. I dont know why thy down vote. This person is expressing their feelings with great emotion. You may not care for some of the words they chose to use but you can't deny them the right to say what they need to say even if it isn't as elegant as you may like

There are times when I feel truly ashamed to be part of the human race. I simply cannot fathom what happens in a person's head that makes them capable of harming, hurting, torturing or killing an animal.

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!"

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?

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.

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?

Zoos. Not those who breed for a species survival, but those for entertainment.

Apparently, it's inconclusive if they're actually fully extinct. If they are, I hope we can clone them back someday.

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.
