Because, like it or not, generational poverty is associated with lack of executive functioning skills, since parents for whatever reason (abuse, low IQ, drugs, health issues or simply having no one to teach them this) have not developed these skills and cannot pass then along to their children.

Executive functioning, more than cognitive thinking skills, and assuming an IQ in the average range, is what make people successful. It's how to start a task (planning and timing), how to continue a task (persistence), and follow-through (resilience during setbacks). Everything in life requires executive functioning skills. Training and keeping a puppy or another animal requires a lot of observational and executive functioning skills.

So people who lack impulse control and seek immediate gratification, who are generally either light on their IQ, or more frequently light in executive functioning, will take on appealing burdens then be tempted to abandon them because follow-through is an effort and skill that is sometimes beyond them.
