Oh man, I knew one guy who actually said this to me out loud after admitting his family abandoned a cat in the middle of nowhere because they didn't like it.
They also had an incredibly overweight black lab that smelled awful. Bad enough they warned me about it beforehand. As soon as I could smell him I knew it was a severe ear infection, it was the worst yeast-smell I've ever experienced. They just weren't interested in taking him to the vet to get it fixed.
It's not like this family was struggling money-wise, either. They were upper middle class.
