As humans we don't feel very obligated but I would say we feel empathy for things and that makes us want to help the animal in distress.

You should help animals if they are in distress from human-caused issues because it is our fault it is happening. You should also help animals in some natural instances, such as with natural disasters. However, some things in nature are supposed to be allowed to happen, such as predator prey relationships, so you shouldn't interrupt those. Humans are supposed to help the environment because we are the only animals who can really affect it to the extent that we can and we need to protect it so that all the species living on it, including us, can thrive.
