That's actualy two differant pigs.

Here's what they did to the uhhh... "winner"

Hakka people in Taiwan touch and admire a slaughtered giant black pig, the 960-kg (2,116 pound) winner of the 'Pigs of God' contest, at a sacrificial ceremony in Yimin Temple in Taiwan's Hsinchu county, August 17, 2003. The animal was one of about 30 pigs that were killed as part of a traditional ritual to worship the ancestors of the Hakka people. Animal rights groups have criticized the religious practice, in which the pigs are castrated at a young age and force-fed to increase their weight before being slaughtered for the celebrations, and have called on Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian to stop it.
