Artist Tries To Raise Awareness About Animal Abuse With These 33 Uncomfortable Illustrations
Interview With Artist
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.

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!"
RELATED:
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!"

I only recently learnt about pangolins... they are an endangered species, which makes their situation even worse. Apparently China has started to put a ban on hunting these creatures, but unless they are capable of enforcing it, it will continue... Honestly, I just don't understand human beings sometimes.

I learned about that recently myself, it's also theorized that the illegal killing and using pangolin scales for medicinal use could be a cause for the virus, I don't blame the pangolins I blame the people

I read that it was a pangolin. The only mammal with scales. The monster wanted animal. They are big in the animal traffic trade for meat and scales. The scales supposedly have medicinal properties. Equivalent to biting your nails

Kim Lorton 5 years ago
Pangolins are also just ted for their meat. It's illegal to eat them, but certain places will serve it on the sly. You have to ask a certain person, in a certain way, and it's very expensive. So those who eat it, pay a lot of money! But China, unless they catch you and or the restaurants , don't make it a habit to enforce this law. So they keep getting traded, eaten and their scales used for whatever, in Chi ease medicine. It's sad.

Ian Milne, I can't reply to you because you've been downvoted. I didn't say that subjects can't be joked about. It's called 'reading the room' (something which gets me invited to a lot of parties, thank you). This article is being read by people who don't appreciate the jokes. This is why they are downvoting and making worse comments than my own. I also thank everyone for singling me out and putting words into my mouth.

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.

Or the parasites... as this one writer puts it: "To be clear, humans are parasites, because their behavior matches the exact behavior of other identified parasitic organisms. Humans are organisms that benefit from depriving nutrients from their host. In this case, our host is the organism known as Earth. Humans thrive by killing the planet they live on." [Source: Wesley M. on Vocal] I agree... and it's the prime motivator for us trying to expand into our Galaxy and beyond... to inhabit and destroy other worlds NOT to become better human beings.

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.

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.
