The next mayor in Flint, Mich., could be Giggles the pig - and it appears that more than 3,000 people already approve!

In Flint, ex-convicts often run for mayor, so Giggles' human thought his pig would be a better fit for the position.

"I am running Giggles the Pig for Mayor of Flint," Michael Ewing wrote on Giggles' Facebook page. "I hope that you will vote for her as a mayoral candidate who has never murdered a human. She has never placed citizens in harm by driving drunk on the highway, and has never interrupted public business and public meetings. She is a sweet and intelligent animal - which is more than can be said for some candidates."

Of course, like any good candidate, there are people who are outraged by Giggles' campaign.

Wantwaz Davis, an opponent of Giggles who was once convicted for murder, wrote on the pig's Facebook page threatening to (literally) eat her for dinner after he wins.

"Hypocrisy has no place nor boundaries and surly does not discriminate, in which you have confirmed," wrote Davis.

"In saying, you can defend men and women in the court of law who have been charged with murder, or any improprieties, take thousands of dollars from their families, in their weakest moments, while considering them to be of no significance or ability to redeem themselves. In conclusion, I honestly laughed at your remarks, however, I will be the next mayor of Flint, Michigan and will feast off of your pig at my victory party, you can get in for free, VIP on me."

Giggles did her research and will back any arguments against her running for the position.

As part of Giggles' campaign she is selling "Giggles the pig" campaign T-shirts as a fundraiser, except instead of using the money towards costly advertising she is donating the money to "two local families devastated by unexpected medical expenses."

If Giggles wins she will also be the first female mayor to hold office in Flint.

Good luck, Giggles!
