First of all the cost is probably pretty low and second you have a responsibility to care for an animal once you take it on. You can’t just throw them away once you are done using them. I think this is extremely callous behavior.

According to article it costs half a million annually. That doesn't seem low cost to me.

There's an implicit moral obligation, surely.

I agree. Animals are not just disposable tools.
