Pigasus was a pig which the Yippies, led by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, ran as their satiric candidate for President of the United States during the massive protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The candidate was also featured in a later New York City parade that started at the Gansevoort Street garbage pier on the Hudson River and proceeded to Tompkins Square Park in the East Village.
