At last (Warning: May Contain Vegetables)

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not supportive of equal rights for all, and by all we mean all forms of life, including vegetables.  It shouldn't surprise any of our supporters that we are starting to have widespread success in this endeavor, as less than half of our applicants for membership in the Board of Dictators this year came from human applicants.  It is a testament to our commitment to diversity that we consider their applications, and although many of them are not equipped properly to participate in the Board of Dictators we are reviewing each candidate to determine whether we would benefit by including him or her or whatever.  It is no small pleasure, then, when we find other like-minded individuals championing the less-popular of endangered species as in this article.  While many self-absorbed individuals will continue to discriminate, we believe that the majority of world citizens are now recognizing the valuable contributions that a pangolin can make to our society.  At the same time, however, we object to the headline asking whether these creatures are "too ugly" to be saved, but we understand that to get people to read articles you usually have to use salacious titles.
