Dhamma is not a cure for all. Buddha has said that animals are not capable of listening to and understanding dhamma. If a person is born mentally impaired he is not capable of eliminating mental suffering.

Average mental ability – mandatory

it makes no sense at all not to then look to the causes for such birth…

It makes perfect sense. The Buddha did not advise his disciples to try liberating all beings. I am interested in seeing a quote if he has.

What do you say the cause of such birth is? Kamma? If that is so, then you have to accept rebirth. If you say rebirth is true then you have to explain how it happens so others can verify. Otherwise all your theories fall in the realm of speculation – a mere belief. You are free to take up beliefs if you like but it makes perfect sense not to if you don't.
