🔗 Share this article The Porcine Pardon: Hog Named Six Seven Spared by Miami Dade County Mayor. It might not have been at the identical stature as pardoning festive fowl, but the mayor of Miami-Dade had her own presidential-style act this week by ceremoniously saving the life of a swine 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 animal is guiltless. She is worthy of this pardon. No offenses are on her docket,” stated the mayor in a speech with clear references to the sheer volume of pardons issued since the onset of a new presidential term. “Except perhaps for eating 6 or 7 apples per day,” she went on. “I hope she experiences a long and happy life away from worry.” The event, which both honors and questions the local cultural practice of feasting on pork during the holidays, was founded to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House. The pardon took place at the Latin Cafe. Photo: Provided of the venue. The animal, provided by a local firefighter, was named for the current slang trend of young people exclaiming “six seven” – inspired by a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The craze became so ubiquitous that a prominent word reference recently declared “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year. A Peaceful Retirement The pardoned swine is now set to enjoy its days at a farm sanctuary “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the organizers' announcement. “This swine clemency has become a beloved tradition to kick off the holiday season,” said the event host, in a decidedly positive message. “It represents the essence of Miami: joyful, diverse, and based in heritage that foster togetherness. Every time, we are delighted to mark heritage and mercy in a way distinctively Miamian.” Attendees enjoyed a vegetarian menu of croquettes and cafecito as they marked the swine's new lease on life.
