With less than a week to the US elections, Jamal Penjweny bring us a new photogallery. With the possibility of Donald Trump becoming the next president, Jamal asks: ¿what if animals could be elected?

Dedicated to Donald Trump

Candidate for President of the United States and all the animals that I have hurt with the excuse of playing.

Did it ever cross your mind, having an animal to be representing you in politics and which you can vote for in an election? Did you ever think of having an Animal President?

Usually politicians give promises, to win in an election or to hold on to power. And when they get on power  they abuse it in a way or another. Would animals do the same way?

What if I was represented by a Rooster! Would I be displaced  for the sake of having a certain religion?

Would a Donkey imprison me for my free expression and free speech? Would a Chicken act as a tiger to lead and will it support honour killings?

Would a Dog keep us safe from crimes?

Would a Turkey stop the killings of Turkeys on Thanksgiving day?

Would the Turtle run with the speed of a Rabbit to do reforms and in improving the economy?

Would the Parrot forbid the use of different languages once in power?

These are all questions that cross my mind when I think of a new era and a new way of governing.
