The problem is there's no rule you can apply that distinguished between those two, in a court of law or elsewhere. Unless you just look at if a bigger firm owns the vet office. But that doesn't help with the upselling vet or the large national organization who wants to help animals.

Yup exactly.

And say the owner-Vet who is doing it from a place of love takes a lone and needs to make some interest payments....what then!

Indebtedness and greed are hard to distinguish when black boxes. Always remember that.
