Pigasus was a 145-pound (66-kg) domestic pig who was nominated for President of the United States by the
Youth International Party on August 23, 1968,The youth-oriented party (whose members were commonly called "Yippies") was an anti-establishment and countercultural revolutionary group whose views were inspired by the free speech and anti-war movements

.

Pigasus was purchased from a farmer by 
Phil Ochs a member of the Yippie movement. The Yippies demanded that Pigasus be treated as a legitimate candidate, with U.S. Secret Service protection and White House foreign policy briefings.

The nomination of Pigasus for president occurred on the morning of August 23, 1968, at the Chicago Civic Center (subsequently renamed as the Richard J. Daley Center ).
Pigasus was transported to the rally in a station wagon, escorted by seven Yippies. There were 50 Yippies carrying campaign signs and handing out literature. There were about 200 spectators on hand, along with ten uniformed Chicago policemen and several detectives.

Jerry Rubin was in the process of reading the "acceptance speech" for him when Pigasus was "arrested" by the police. Pigasus and the Yippies were charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and bringing a pig to Chicago. 
The Chicago Tribune , on September 30, 1968, said that after Pigasus was taken into custody by Chicago police, they transported him to the Anti-Cruelty Society. The swine were later transferred to a farm in Grayslake, Illinois .

Five months after the nomination of Pigasus, during the inauguration ceremony of President Nixon, the Yippies held their own inauguration ceremony - for President Pigasus

On the fate of Pigasus. There is some speculation that a police officer ate him.
