This Swine Life: Pig Named Six Seven Pardoned by Miami Dade County Mayor.

While perhaps not at the equivalent scale as pardoning Thanksgiving turkeys, but the mayor of Miami-Dade had her own Donald Trump moment this week by formally pardoning the life of a swine named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava performed the seasonal stunt at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“The swine has done no wrong. Clemency is justified for her. Her criminal record is spotless,” declared Levine Cava in a speech with obvious nods to the extraordinary and sizable number of executive clemencies issued from the start of the beginning of a current administration.

“Except perhaps for eating 6 or 7 apples per day,” the mayor added. “I hope she experiences a long and happy life away from worry.”

This ceremony, either celebrating or rejecting the local cultural practice of consuming swine during the holidays, was established to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The animal, contributed by a Coral Gables firefighter, was named for the popular vernacular phrase of young people yelling “6-7” – originating from a rap song lyric – often without clear purpose. The phrase became so widespread that a major dictionary recently named “six-seven” its annual vocabulary selection.

A New Life

The pardoned swine is now destined to live out its days at a countryside refuge “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the ceremony's official statement.

“This swine clemency has become a cherished method to begin the end-of-year celebrations,” said the event host, in a notably cheerful message.

“It embodies the essence of Miami: joyful, multicultural, and grounded in customs that foster togetherness. Each year, we are honored to observe culture and compassion in a way only Miami can.”

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