Some people’s lives change dramatically and usually pets are the first things that have to go.

I think it's like many other things people lose interest, their life changes the animal need to be re-homed, many different reasons really but I would suspect that loss of interest would be the primary one.
Our BP's demand passion and attention that some people can not provide. First it's a display, then it's a nuisance. Disappointing throw-away mentality towards animals...so sad.
