Being inhumane to animals should always be punishable to the full extent of the law. . Animals that have empathetic characteristics, understand human speech to a larger extent ( like this fictional character) would not and should not be on the dinner table for the masses. The leap that all animals eaten are in parallel to Okja is ridiculous. Do we need to remind you Okja is fictional? This movie was an overzealous approach leveraging character development of a fictional animal in an effort to show direct parallels to our current food supply, which is totally unfair. I've been a vegan and then a vegetarian based on the inhumane treatment of animals in the 80's. The fight should always be for their ethical treatment. Dogs, while eaten in some cultures, are regarded worldwide as pets because of their empathy and domestication. They are not part of the mass food supply because of this, and that's a good thing. This movie main theme is to say meat is bad, which is bs. Unethical treatment of animals is bad, moreover Overzealous behavior is worse, do everything in moderation, in life, and your meat eating. Don't let your kids see this, it's not free Willy.
