A Pig's Tale: Hog Named Six Seven Granted Clemency by Miami-Dade Mayor.
It might not have been at the identical stature as sparing festive fowl, but the mayor of Miami-Dade conducted a Donald Trump moment this week by formally pardoning the life of a pig named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava executed the holiday gesture at the Cuban-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.
“This animal is guiltless. She is worthy of this pardon. She has committed zero crimes,” declared Levine Cava in a speech with clear references to the extraordinary and sizable number of pardons issued from the start of the onset of a second term in office.
“If we disregard eating half a dozen apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “I hope she experiences a prosperous future without fear.”
The gathering, simultaneously observing and challenging the local cultural practice of consuming swine during the holidays, was established to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The pig, contributed by a first responder, was christened after the popular vernacular phrase of young people yelling “six seven” – deriving from a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The trend became so pervasive that a prominent word reference recently named “6-7” its 2025 word of the year.
A Future Secured
This particular pig is now set to enjoy its days at a farm sanctuary “far from charcoal and roasting pans”, according to the ceremony's official statement.
“The pig pardon has become a cherished method to open the festive period,” said Eric Castellanos, in a particularly upbeat message.
“It captures the essence of Miami: happy, varied, and based in heritage that foster togetherness. Annually, we are honored to observe culture and compassion in a way unique to Miami.”
Guests enjoyed a plant-based fare of spinach fritters and cafecito as they celebrated the swine's new lease on life.
