Anyone who's in the position to give help, thats who. Everyone has to judge whether their assistance is going to do any good, since nobody has unlimited resources.
You have to decide the risk, freeing a trapped animal might lead to injury or death. Picking up a pedestrian could do the same. (Personally I won't pick up women anymore.)
Investing time or money is less risky, but there again, most people would hope it wasn't wasted. You might not see a positive result but you(I) definitely don't want to see a negative.
