The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named 6-7 Spared by Miami-Dade Leader.
It might not have been at the identical stature as sparing holiday birds, but the mayor of Miami-Dade had her own presidential-style act this week by formally pardoning the life of a pig named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava performed the seasonal stunt at the Cuban-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s iconic Little Havana neighborhood.
“The swine has done no wrong. Clemency is justified for her. She has committed zero crimes,” stated the mayor in a speech with obvious nods to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued from the start of the onset of a second term in office.
“Except perhaps for eating six or seven apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “Let this swine have a long and happy life away from worry.”
This ceremony, simultaneously observing and challenging the area's customary feast of consuming swine during the holidays, was founded to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The pig, donated by a first responder, was given its name from the modern linguistic fad of young people shouting “six-seven” – deriving from a rap song lyric – often without clear purpose. The phrase became so widespread that a leading lexicon site recently named “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.
A Peaceful Retirement
Six Seven the pig is now scheduled to spend its days at a farm sanctuary “far from charcoal and roasting pans”, according to the event’s official press release.
“This swine clemency has become a cherished method to kick off the festive period,” said the cafe owner, in a notably cheerful message.
“It captures the essence of Miami: joyful, varied, and rooted in traditions that unite the community. Annually, we are honored to observe culture and compassion in a way only Miami can.”
Attendees enjoyed a meat-free selection of spinach fritters and Cuban coffee as they celebrated Six Seven’s big moment.
