Did you hear there's going to be a big anti - fur rally downtown today?

Anti - fur rally? What is that all about?

You know, people are against killing animals.

Oh, well, I agree with that.

Maybe I should go to the rally.

Sure, why not?

It's going to be in front of Blumenthal's Department Store.

Blumenthal's? Why there?

Because they just signed a multi - million dollar deal to import expensive rare...

...furs from Russia.

Oh, I see. Then I guess that's a good place to hold the rally.

I heard even the mayor is going to be there.

He's going to make a speech, too.

He must feel very strongly about the issue.

He does. He is well-known to be a strong environmentalist.
