These sketches say it all. From an alligator walking the runway with a human bag, to a man-drawn carriage pulling horses — prepare to question your own choices.
To believe that one race holds supremacy over all other living beings is to live in an illusion, to be infatuated with a lie and promise of power, and to contribute to a destructive and cruel cycle which exploits and harms other sentient, innocent creatures every day.
Yet this is exactly what is happening all around the world. Not only are women treated as less than equals in every profession (making up 40% of the workforce, yet hold only 1% of the world’s profits), but animals in every country and region are considered to be less intelligent, and in effect, less worthy of having rights.
Just because animals do not communicate in the same way human beings do does not make them any less important – or essential – to the ecosystem and workings of the world.
To shed light on the way animals are treated and cause viewers to contemplate their own actions, these creative – and somewhat disturbing – cartoons have been compiled into a collection for YOU to ponder what it would be like if animals treated humans the same way they are presently being treated.
What are your thoughts? Comment below. And if you support the general message being conveyed through the cartoons, please share with others so they, too, may benefit from the thought-provoking sketches as well.

Great. 🙂 I’d imagine that these images would make some people think, but who knows…
You’d think it would…
Really good
You missed cutting the genitalia off and killing by gass/injection if they are found without an owner and within a week. Hell hate to be a stray in Japan, some city councils don’t even bother rehoming them (to send a stray to the pound is a death sentance as well as the rate of reclaiming and rehoming is horrifyingly low), they just dump them in a gas chamber truck, kill them with carbon dioxide and haul them off to the city crematorium. The irony is that this method came about after the citizens claimed they didn’t want animals killed in their towns. Here’s a bit of trivia for you: the crossbow was banned from military use due to how cruel it was as a weapon (still being used as a non-combat tool), it is still being used on animals and, in some countries, less regulated than conventional firearms.
Not that any weapon should be used on other living beings in the first place.
LOL, so that they don’t reproduce too much!
Ugh. These drawings are horrible, but I do like the one with the chicken and beef police carting off the chef to jail in handcuffs, with the murder weapon!
Or to make them more docile and easier to control, I guess is the real reason. 😦
Here’s another one. This bear had to be ‘euthanized’ because he was behaving like a bear. Joggers were ‘in the woods’ a/ka/ the bear’s territory, and have become so removed from the natural world they don’t want them there while they are out jogging. We’ve got prisons chock full of ‘too aggressive’ individuals and we don’t euthanize them. How about the rapist or sex offender harassing a woman jogger or preying on children? They might be a good candidate to be euthanized. 🙂 Why can’t the bear be ‘rehabilitated’? What an increasingly effed up world we are living in.

Ah the word “euthenised”, it really hammers down how we want to distance ourselves from the act of taking a life just to make ourselves feel better. I guess saying they shot the bear wouldn’t look nice for the newspaper.
Indeed there have been many instances where animals are killed where they could have been removed by other means and rehabilitated, but because that’s too much work and people don’t want to be bothered or are too stupid or self-absorbed to come up with a better idea.
I am over the whole nice people image these psychopaths try to put up to make themselves look like decent human beings. “I rescue strays/orphaned animals”, “I spared the juveniles/females”, “I work as a nurse”, “I’m a vet”, “I love my family”, “I raise money for charities” and so on as if it makes one iota of difference. Any act of kindness looses its meaning when it is used as a shield for misdeeds and no amount of good deeds will ever make up for the wrongs one commits until they face them, cease them and make amends with self improvement both in thoughts and actions.
I’m just appalled that these two runners wouldn’t have wanted to spare the life of this poor bear, guilty of nothing but being himself, and having the audacity to be near ‘their trails’. Appalling. It’s sad commentary on us; especially since today’s world is lousy with us. What’s next – removal of all wildlife so that we can have it all, and not be ‘bothered’ by other creatures trying to survive amongst us? I fear that’s what the future will look like. We cannot share.
KARMA!
