A Pig's Tale: Hog Named 6-7 Pardoned by Miami-Dade Mayor.

Although not quite at the identical stature as sparing holiday birds, but the county's top official experienced a Donald Trump moment this week by ceremoniously saving the life of a pig named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava carried out the annual tradition at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the core of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“The swine has done no wrong. She deserves this act of mercy. Her criminal record is spotless,” stated the mayor in a speech with clear references to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued since the commencement of a new presidential term.

“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” she went on. “May this pig enjoy a prosperous future away from worry.”

The gathering, either celebrating or rejecting the region’s Hispanic tradition of eating roast pork during the holidays, was established to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The animal, donated by a Coral Gables firefighter, was named for the current slang trend of young people yelling “6-7” – deriving from a musical verse – often for no discernable reason. The trend became so ubiquitous that a leading lexicon site recently declared “6-7” its 2025 word of the year.

A Future Secured

This particular pig is now destined to live out its days at a countryside refuge “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the organizers' announcement.

“The pig pardon has become one of our favorite ways to kick off the festive period,” said Eric Castellanos, in a particularly upbeat message.

“It captures the spirit of Miami: joyful, varied, and grounded in customs that bring people together. Each year, we are delighted to mark heritage and mercy in a way only Miami can.”

Attendees enjoyed a vegetarian menu of croquettes and strong coffee as they celebrated the swine's new lease on life.
