It falls into a similar category, since people going on their summer vacation, simply abandon their pets on the streets. It speaks of total neglect towards life in general. Undisturbed vaccation is more important than the creature they supposedly cared for. I can't imagine doing that or forgetting a kid or even an animal for that matter in an overheated car. Sometimes I really feel ashamed to be a member of the human species.
The problem with your analogy is that people often abandon their pets intentionally, but typically do not intentionally leave their children in their car.
