What is the ruling on removing a usurped thread used to stitch the wound of an animal lacking sanctity?

Primary text

If a usurped thread is used to stitch the wound of an animal that holds no sanctity, such as an apostate, a pig, or a vicious dog, the thread must be removed and returned. This case is analogous to stitching a garment because its removal does not involve the destruction of a sanctified being.
