He scraped the test set's labels. How is that useful? It's not about "ML for the sake of ML", it's the equivalent of stealing the answers to a math test then writing them down. Why should that be rewarded? The goal of this competition is to build a system (using ML or not) which is useful for predicting how quickly pets will be adopted. Any information used during the competition should be realistically available at inference time for future predictions... clearly, the expected answer cannot be available at the time you're trying to predict when a pet will be adopted.
