Possibly. Hard to really say. Humans tend to prefer the suffering of life to the emptiness of non-existence.

However, that's not a justification for animal cruelty, and I do wish that we as a culture put more emphasis on animal welfare.

A good reason to switch to primarily beef for your meat intake. Generally less cruelty and fewer total animals killed. Also more nutrient dense and tastes better.

Are you saying the European Union isn't huge and rich?

I would say the reason is because European corporations face more regulation hurdles that limit their growth.

Look how the percentage for Switzerland is the same as for Germany, despite Germany having almost ten times as much population.

yeah, I tried something like that, but there are 48 reservoirs represented on the graph and so you aren't going to be able to read all of them regardless. I did add the ability to select which reservoirs to show on the graph (in the interactive version) which can let you visualize the smaller reservoirs.

But the overall goal was to show the amount of water in reservoirs so it's not that helpful if a tiny reservoir (amounting to less than 1% of state storage capacity) is full
