Campaign for U.S. President In 1968, Pigasus was nominated for the U.S. presidency by the Youth International Party (Yippies).[9] The pig's name was a play on the name Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek mythology. Selected for the campaign by group members Dennis Dalrymple, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, candidate Pigasus was purchased from a farmer by folk-singer and fellow Yippie Phil Ochs.[10] His candidacy was announced during the massive protests leading up to and during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.[5] The Yippies demanded that Pigasus be treated as a legitimate candidate, with U.S. Secret Service protection and White House foreign policy briefings.[11] One reason why the Yippies preferred Pigasus was that "if we can't have him in the White House, we can have him for breakfast."
