This Swine Life: Pig Named 6-7 Pardoned by Miami-Dade Mayor.
Although not quite at the same level as sparing holiday birds, but the county's top official experienced a 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.
“The swine has done no wrong. She deserves this act of mercy. No offenses are on her docket,” declared Levine Cava in a speech with clear references to the sheer volume of pardons issued since the beginning of a new presidential term.
“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “Let this swine have a lengthy and joyful existence free from concern.”
The event, which both honors and questions the area's customary feast of feasting on pork during the holidays, was created to mirror the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The animal, donated by a first responder, was christened after the modern linguistic fad of young people shouting “6-7” – originating from a hip-hop line – often without clear purpose. The craze became so ubiquitous that a leading lexicon site recently declared “6-7” its 2025 word of the year.
A Future Secured
The pardoned swine is now destined to live out its days at a countryside refuge “away from grills and cookware”, according to the event’s official press release.
“The annual pig pardon has become one of our favorite ways to open the festive period,” said the cafe owner, in a decidedly positive message.
“It represents the character of Miami: joyful, diverse, and grounded in customs that bring people together. Every time, we are proud to celebrate tradition and kindness in a way unique to Miami.”
Guests enjoyed a vegetarian menu of spinach fritters and strong coffee as they celebrated Six Seven’s big moment.
