All of my friends are animal people. To me cats are people too. Animals are people too. I travel a lot and when I go overseas it's really hard on me because the animals are treated much differently especially in developing countries.
I grew up with not a lot of money and I definitely shopped at Goodwill. But...
There's no need to travel further. The Los Angeles area is big enough for us.
I've always felt that if you back down from a fear the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.
