For example, because Thailand is a Buddhist nation, they are forbidden from even euthanizing animals that are sick and in pain with no hope of recovery. Because of these varying beliefs, the Ethics Committee of SEAZA takes into account the ethical standards of the country and the people who work there. In addition to respecting the regional ethical beliefs of the area where a zoo is located, SEAZA tries not to favor rich zoos over poor zoos.
