The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named 6-7 Spared by Miami-Dade Mayor.
While perhaps not at the identical stature as sparing festive fowl, but the county's top official had her own presidential-style act this week by ceremoniously saving the life of a pig named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava executed the holiday gesture at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the heart 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 clear references to the vast quantity of pardons issued from the start of the onset of a current administration.
“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” she went on. “I hope she experiences a prosperous future away from worry.”
The event, which both honors and questions the local cultural practice of consuming swine during the holidays, was created to replicate the yearly bird sparing at the White House.
The pig, provided by a first responder, was given its name from the modern linguistic fad of young people exclaiming “six seven” – originating from a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The trend became so pervasive that a prominent word reference recently made “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.
A Future Secured
This particular pig is now destined to live out its days at a farm sanctuary “far from charcoal and roasting pans”, according to the organizers' announcement.
“The annual pig pardon has become a cherished method to begin the festive period,” said the cafe owner, in a particularly upbeat message.
“It embodies the spirit of Miami: joyful, multicultural, and rooted in traditions that bring people together. Each year, we are delighted to mark heritage and mercy in a way only Miami can.”
Participants enjoyed a vegetarian menu of spinach fritters and cafecito as they toasted the pig's pardon.
