First downvote for standing up for animals, woo!

Pretty non-confrontational (truthfully it’s from loooooots of childhood trauma that resulted in anxiety over conflict) so I often just scroll on by when I disagree with a post or comment, but spoke up today in a community full of omnis. Took my first downvote, and although I did feel the anxiety, I could hardly think of a cause more worthy of a downvote. I stand up for animals with my choices and am doing all I can to do it with my words, too.
