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!"

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?

Humans pose a far greater threat to sharks than the other way around.

Fact: shark fin does not taste good, they just eat it because they think it has health benefits. You know, like rhino horn!

ok I've had shark fin soup before at weddings, they don't taste bad but there is a substitute for it which is fish maw soup. Which, i love.

Again, another thing we do NOT need to eat as human beings... leave their fins good and well intact, regardless of their conservation status! And for those jokers who say they'd as soon eat us as we them, sharks actually prefer fish and ocean mammals. Read this: "Only about a dozen of the more than 300 species of sharks have been involved in attacks on humans. Sharks evolved millions of years before humans existed and therefore humans are not part of their normal diets. Sharks are opportunistic feeders, but most sharks primarily feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. Some of the larger shark species prey on seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals."

Their fins don't even have any nutritional value, which makes it even sadder.

this may be even worse but they toss the wounded sharks back into the sea. 1. if you're killing animals (which you shouldn't) at least use all parts and 2. sharks will suffer more. they'll just sink and die which is a terrible way to go

I was wondering if the shark would be on this list and what the comments would say. There is such hatred for this misunderstood creature. How many sharks are killed by humans every year? Who's the real monster in this story...

This is the saddest picture of them all. And guess which country does most of the shark finning? If i name it I'll be called a racist even though it's true. So just search it out yourself. Though you can probably guess.

Ok I have a story about shark fin soup. Apparently they don’t put just the fin. My mom found a shark eyeball in there.

Elisabeth, how possibly could your mom (and who else) come even close to a shark fin soup, not to mention to buy it and want to eat it? Why do you support such a human excrement deeply rooted in just another abhorrent industry? It was nice of you to share.

There are animal protection organizations which you can support right now, and your parents, there's one to help exclusively to sharks.

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.
