A weird ordinance

@Ian, Poverty lives vis a vis with affluence. In the city Iam mentioning, a well gated and highly prime village is situated very near a slum area known for high crime rate. In the subdivision where I live which is not gated, a slum area exists too. I remember when I was just a newly assigned public school teacher in that city. I followed to the letter what the principal had directed us to do. To home visit a student who had been absent for 3 consecutive days. I didn't consulted anybody and on my free hour, I took a trike and just told the driver to bring me to a certain address. There was a number of dwelling and a street name. I thought it was very easy to find. Me, being raised and born in the metropolis was really raised in a sheltered way. I was surprised to find more than 1000 households with the same address. It turned out, the slum was a whole big block. Luckily I was in my teacher's uniform and I was guided by the son of a household I happen to ask for direction. We had to walk the snake like and narrow unpaved way with the dog and human excrement here and there. When I got back to the school, some teachers where surprised to see me with no bad incidence. Well, that was in the early 80's. It would surely be different now with the drug problem very prevalent. Now I understand why you have a thing for Filipinas. It would be a nicer experience if you just explore the sea. And yes I agree with you the church has something to do with the problem because it doesn't allow for contraception. And they would always heckle God will provide hence they'll continue making babies irresponsibly. Iam a firm God believer but so many irresponsible things are done in His name. Just so sad!
@Jac, yes probably the emotional thing goes in there. But with fish, I happen to had a small aquarium in my teens and now as an adult visited some fish ponds, I just wonder if there is such an emotion displayed when I handed out food to them. They' would go flocking near you and some would even follow you in the hope of another hand out. Would that be considered emotion? And about the fish brain, I love eating it. I simply love the taste! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
To all friends, sorry if I responded late as always. Hope you understand. Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas.
