The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named 6-7 Granted Clemency by Miami Dade County Leader.
Although not quite at the same level as granting clemency to Thanksgiving turkeys, but the Miami-Dade County mayor conducted a Donald Trump moment this week by ritually sparing the life of a pig named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava performed the seasonal stunt at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s iconic Little Havana neighborhood.
“This pig is innocent. She deserves this act of mercy. Her criminal record is spotless,” Levine Cava said in a speech with clear references to the vast quantity of pardons issued from the start of the onset of a second term in office.
“Unless you count eating half a dozen apples per day,” she went on. “May this pig enjoy a prosperous future free from concern.”
The gathering, either celebrating or rejecting the region’s Hispanic tradition of eating roast pork during the holidays, was established to mirror the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The swine, donated by a local firefighter, was named for the current slang trend of young people yelling “six seven” – deriving from a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The trend became so widespread that a major dictionary recently made “6-7” its top term for the year.
A Future Secured
This particular pig is now scheduled to spend its days at a farm sanctuary “away from grills and cookware”, according to the ceremony's official statement.
“The annual pig pardon has become a cherished method to open the holiday season,” said the cafe owner, in a particularly upbeat message.
“It embodies the essence of Miami: vibrant, diverse, and based in heritage that foster togetherness. Every time, we are proud to celebrate culture and compassion in a way distinctively Miamian.”
Guests enjoyed a meat-free selection of croquettes and strong coffee as they marked Six Seven’s big moment.
