> I find the country also really values animal welfare as a whole. There are incredibly high and well-known subsidies for animal farming industries here, in addition to a blind eye often turned toward the treatment of said animals. It's arguable that most Swiss people value animal welfare more than many in the US, but saying that the country "really values" it when they opt to pay large sums of money for unnecessary animal suffering, both on the governmental and often individual level, sounds rather absurd to me.
