No, not caring is assinine(sic) and a sign of one of the many things wrong

It's possible to care and feel compassion and still take a realistic
attitude toward the whole thing. Which is a better use of resources,
spending one's time and energy on a baby bird, or, say, volunteering at
a job retraining program for the underprivileged?

Obviously, there's not a single "right" answer to that question, but the
sad truth is that you can't fix everything, no matter how hard you try.
