Twitter Reacts to Okja: Tons of People Ditching Meat After Watching New Netflix Film
By now you’ve probably heard about the new Netflix original movie Okja. Starring Ahn Seo-hyun, Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, and Jake Gyllenhaal, the movie follows a young girl named Mija and her fight to save her best friend, a “superpig” named Okja, from the powerful Mirando Corporation, which wants to turn her into food.
Heavy with animal rights themes, this film is beautiful and at times heartbreaking. And as expected, it’s giving viewers some serious food for thought. Here are just a few reaction tweets that prove Okja is changing the world for animals:

All animals deserve consideration, and they don’t want to die. We can all make a big difference for animals suffering at factory farms by leaving meat and other animal products off our plates.
