Could potentially be an instinctive act. He might have thought that his children could escape on their own.

You should never count your chickens before they've hatched.

Hard to make out from this article what happened. Pretty horrible but regarding responsibility there are some holes, like what was the mother doing while watching him go for the roosters, was she trying to save the children herself or something else?

So sad thing but strange to assume that a newpaper is right about the whole rooster thing and what happened.

What I cannot understand is, and I'm not even trying to be funny, how this man can have more children than roosters.

Why do these people have dozens of children??? 14 kids? Really? How is he supposed to actually care for 14 kids...

Yes, I agree that there appears to be more to this than the media tell, but unfortunately the truth doesn't sell quite as good as the a spiced up story.

Well, most of the Filipino's are fanatics of gamingcocks so it's quite sad that this guy brought it to a whole other level of cockery.

for you guys being confused why he has 13 kids, it an old popular belief in rural areas that many kids = more help in the farm, chores, labor or whatever is similar.

Dunno, guess he could have been really poor and needed those roosters to make some money back b/c i guess a house burning down doesn't really help economically. Deems kind of fishy tho. And yeah, what were the other members of the family doing?

I love you guys so much... I feel terrible.

Anyways, it's terrible, but chicken fighting was probably the man's biggest income source, I'm guessing. Not that it makes it ok, I just get it.

Am I the only one who honestly laughed at the "chickened out" joke?
Why do the mods ban for stuff like that..

Honestly though, I don't see what the big deal is, the man probably just saved what he loved most.

Not to say I agree with it, I'd say it's pretty freakin crazy if you value your chickens more than you value your kids but hey, to each his own, can't judge the guy for his choices.

I thought the chickened out joke was pretty funny. Not nearly offensive enough to ban someone for.
Did he know the children were upstairs? If you got 13 of em it may be pretty hard to keep track of em all.

Actually the fire razed 25 houses it says. The firefighters taking it down in only 1 hour seems a bit incredible.

I feel bad for the 'chickened out' pun getting banned. It is the best in this thread by far.

The father most likely thought his kids are safe when he first went for the roosters first. And then the fire was getting too big to go for the kids. My dad used to punish me for whenever my little brother did something wrong, as if I was supposed to be his guardian or something, although the age difference is only 2 years.

You would be surprised how small the houses here. Imagine Favelas but in planes and not in mountains.

I'm really torn on this. Of course, having your children die due to gross negligence is horrible, but I think what the father reasoned was that a poor family of 14 children and no income, simply isn't as well off as a family of 12 children with a source of income. I cannot condone the mindset that makes such a decision (in that the survival of the father's source of money is more important than the lives of 1/7th of his children), but crises warp the way your mind operates. I can understand how he might have justified his choice, but that will never make it the ideal and correct one.

That, or the father simply never considered his children, thinking that the eldest would be responsible enough to assist the others in such a dangerous event. Might be that he never doubted that all his children would be safe. Still a shitty justification, but there you go.

The whole thing just makes me sad, and wish that sometime in the near future, no one is impoverished enough that they need to decide between their chickens and their children.

On another note, was it ever explained why the fire started in the first place? I hope the investigators examine the scene with a fine-toothed comb to find the cause and prevent future occurrences. It'd be best for everyone if the father's decision never had to be made by anyone else again.

Some countries also have much higher infant mortality rates and losing a child isn't the worst thing that could ever happen to someone like it is in first world countries. For some countries losing children is just a part of life.
