Lemme elaborate a bit more then.
If an unethical doctor tells his patients to stop taking medicines but instead go for highly controversial alternwtive treatment, that would be a big cause of death for a big number of people wont they? How bout unethical architects who design unsafe structures, which could lead to hundreds of deaths? There's also engineers who fail to admit their flawed designs which could again lead to potential deaths by the hundreds. So bear that in mind when you think goodhearted people have no impact on the society as a whole.
Of course the poor can perform, but you taking that sentence literally seems kinda stupid. Am I just talking about the poor in the present? Or do you suppose it would mean poor people in general, past, present and future? Its just silly that you actually assume that. Fuck me. So your examples of respectable professions are proven and have proven their worth whereas my example of the poor hasn't? Seems kinda convenient to just say our labors and those majority working in B40 range are worthless. Just get off your high horse and learn to respect people.

You seem to be triggered by the strangest things - doctors and engineers especially.
Nobody is saying that goodhearted people are useless. But we are saying that good heart alone is useless.
To be useful, people need at least 2 things - Commitment and Capability. Commitment includes to be hardworking and do good for society. Capability includes what they can contribute to society, the skills and resources they bring.
You are right that people with Capability but no Commitment - lazy, selfish, malicious - can harm society by using their Capability for evil intentions. But the opposite is true as well - people with Commitment but no Capability are also useless and harmful.
The problem with our young friend here is that he is full of Commitment - full of good intentions - but zero Capability. In fact the effect of his actions might even be considered to be negative Capability, since he is taking resources from society to feed strays which are a pest. So in reality his contribution to society is practically zero, maybe even damaging.
Hence the English saying: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
