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?

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

European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) "director Dr Lesley Dickie estimates that somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 animals are "management-euthanised" in European zoos in any given year." The numbers are coming from zoos themselves. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26356099 Why downvote a fact? I studied years at university to learn the facts i share here, to be downvoted because i tell fact that people don't want to know. I'm really sorry but this is how it works, i did not invented the system i explain. I should just have said "poor things" instead of explaining how it works, because people just don't want to know.

This picture, for confused people saying ZOOS ARE BAD, its for people who FEED ANIMALS HUMAN FOOD. Fun Fact About Zoos MANY Are Helping To Keep SPECIES Alive Since People In The Countries They Come From Dont Care Enough To Prote The Animals Habitat OR They Actively CONTINUE To Hunt And Kill The Animals. For Example TIGERS. WITHOUT ZOOS TIGERS WOULD ALREADY BE DEAD AND EXTINCT. Zoos Are Not BAD. They Help Educate Kids And Light A Fire Of LOVE In Them For Protecting And Preserving Animals. Zoos Do Not Give Them PEOPLE Food. Places That Use Animals As TOURIST Attractions And ALLOW People To Feed Them People Food DO And They ARE NOT ZOOs. REAL Zoos Have Zoologists And Trained Professionals That Care For the animals. FAKE Zoos DO NOT. And People Are Often Allowed To Feed And Even Pet The Animals In Them. ALSO When People Are Allowed To Feed WILD Animals, This Makes Them Think ALL People Will Treat Them To Food. Then They Get Hurt OR Even Killed By People Who Dont Care See Them As Annoying.

I feel like people are missing the point by saying it's about zoos. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's about people feeding monkeys (especially tourists) in places where monkeys have become a sort of "urban animal" like in a lot of south Asia. There are a lot of monkeys that will hang around people in tourist areas to "beg" for food, or just steal it.

Like, the bag full of bread suggests this to me, rather than zoos which nowadays usually feed a reasonable diet.

To all those commenters who think this picture is about zoos. It's not. It's about monkeys being trained to steal tourist's valuables,. (see the red bag?). They are then rewarded with food to hand it over (hence the bulging belly and the word EAT on his shirt). https://www.deccanchronicle.com/141229/nation-current-affairs/article/monkeys-trained-steal

That was not in a zoo, and that was not even in the United States. That was a 6 yr old Orangutan named Pony in the Philippines who was fortunately discovered and taken by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation UK where she is slowly learning to overcome her trauma and how to become an orangutan and, hopefully, be able to be put into a troop with others to live out a somewhat normal life.

This creature is one of our own making... we've intruded on their habitat so much that they, like us, have become city dwellers. And like us, they prefer 'fast food' to the natural, self caught/found kind...

Again, it's a man-made problem, but the animals don't know any different. They weren't raised in the wild, they were raised by humans, so they can't be returned to the wild. Now, places that are working toward returning endangered species into the wild--either zoos or special facilities--work hard to make certain that those animals have minimal interaction with humans. For example, the California Condor went extinct in 1987 and the San Diego Zoo has been working to return them to the wild. They have successfully reintroduced approx. 210 back to their natural territory. And that is just one example of one place, and one species. CAL-CONDOR...31988a.jpg CAL-CONDOR-5f328ae31988a.jpg

Is this zoos or people taking up land. I think of videos that show them stealing food and handbags. That is not natural instinct but adaptive behavior.

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.
