This Swine Life: Hog Named 6-7 Granted Clemency by Miami Dade County Leader.
It might not have been at the equivalent scale as granting clemency to festive fowl, but the Miami-Dade County mayor had her own presidential-style act this week by formally pardoning the life of a pig named Six Seven.
Daniella Levine Cava executed the holiday gesture at the Cuban-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.
“This animal is guiltless. She deserves this act of mercy. Her criminal record is spotless,” stated the mayor in a speech with inescapable allusions to the vast quantity of executive clemencies issued from the start of the commencement of a second term in office.
“If we disregard eating 6 or 7 apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “I hope she experiences a prosperous future free from concern.”
The event, simultaneously observing and challenging the area's customary feast of consuming swine during the holidays, was created to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.
The pig, provided by a first responder, was given its name from the modern linguistic fad of young people exclaiming “six seven” – inspired by a hip-hop line – often without clear purpose. The trend became so pervasive that a leading lexicon site recently declared “6-7” its 2025 word of the year.
A Peaceful Retirement
Six Seven the pig is now set to enjoy its days at a rural sanctuary “away from grills and cookware”, according to the ceremony's official statement.
“This swine clemency has become a beloved tradition to open the holiday season,” said the cafe owner, in a notably cheerful message.
“It captures the spirit of Miami: happy, multicultural, and grounded in customs that bring people together. Every time, we are delighted to mark culture and compassion in a way distinctively Miamian.”
Guests enjoyed a plant-based fare of croquettes and strong coffee as they celebrated the pig's pardon.
