This Swine Life: Pig Named Six Seven Pardoned by Miami-Dade Leader.
While perhaps not at the same level as pardoning festive fowl, but the county's top official had her own Donald Trump moment this week by formally pardoning the life of a swine named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava carried out the annual tradition at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s iconic Little Havana neighborhood.
“This animal is guiltless. She deserves this act of mercy. She has committed zero crimes,” declared Levine Cava in a speech with obvious nods to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued from the start of the commencement of a second term in office.
“If we disregard eating half a dozen apples per day,” the mayor added. “May this pig enjoy a prosperous future without fear.”
The gathering, either celebrating or rejecting the area's customary feast of feasting on pork during the holidays, was established to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The animal, donated by a local firefighter, was named for the current slang trend of young people exclaiming “6-7” – originating from a hip-hop line – often without clear purpose. The craze became so ubiquitous that a major dictionary recently named “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.
A Future Secured
The pardoned swine is now scheduled to spend its days at a farm sanctuary “far from charcoal and roasting pans”, according to the organizers' announcement.
“This swine clemency has become one of our favorite ways to begin the holiday season,” said the event host, in a particularly upbeat message.
“It represents the essence of Miami: vibrant, diverse, and based in heritage that unite the community. Each year, we are delighted to mark culture and compassion in a way distinctively Miamian.”
Guests enjoyed a vegetarian menu of croquettes and Cuban coffee as they marked Six Seven’s big moment.
