The animal, which was force fed sand and metal to reach its record breaking weight of 908kg (143 stone), could not even stand as it had its throat slit at the ritual in Taiwan.
The annual Pig of God festival involves a heaviest pig contest, with the winner sacrificing their animal in honour of the president.
A World Society for the Protection of Animals spokesman said: 'We want to bring a complete end to this grotesque freak show.'
Police in the town of Hsin Chu are reluctant to enforce a ban on the contest.
