    M: Look! There's a koala hugging a tree. They're really so cute. Jill, why are you crying?
    J: The government's planning on killing them because they may starve to death soon.
    M: What a stupid idea! They should try saving them instead.
    J: I agree. Let's start a campaign to save them. If we can find 5,000 people to each take one home. The
    problem will be solved.

    percent of the population.
    J: Let's do it then.
    M: Killing as a solution to a problem is just not right.
    J: You can say that again.
