Actually, that is not true. If a vet finds an animal in "immediate distress", and the owner's or caregivers won't treat the animal, they then have to report it to an SPCA or OSPCA Investigating Officer, and that officer can remove the dog/cat from the owner's care.
A vet cannot just take anybodys cat/dog away. I wish they could, but they can't.
So in the case of the THS, the vet's hands are tied.
