110 Killing is no solution  p.258

Two Australians， Mack and Jill， are camping on Kangaroo Island.

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.

M： That's a good idea. You know， there're about 18 million people in Australia. Five thousand is only 0.027 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.
