I read a story once about a fellow in, I believe, St. Louis who devotes all of his energy to rescuing stray dogs. It’s an obsession.

People ask him why he doesn’t apply that energy to helping the homeless instead.

As he says, there are plenty of people tackling that problem (debatable), this is his passion, and I imagine he asks, or should ask, the questioner what they’ve done to help the homeless recently.

Follow your passions.

(Plus, as others have pointed out, this is a personal project and he does this stuff full-time, so yours is a particularly odd complaint.)
