This Swine Life: Hog Named Six Seven Spared by Miami-Dade Mayor.

Although not quite at the equivalent scale as granting clemency to holiday birds, but the Miami-Dade County mayor had her own Donald Trump moment this week by ceremoniously saving the life of a pig named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava executed the holiday gesture at the Cuban-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the core of Miami’s iconic Little Havana neighborhood.

“This pig is innocent. She is worthy of this pardon. No offenses are on her docket,” Levine Cava said in a speech with inescapable allusions to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued from the start of the beginning of a second term in office.

“Except perhaps for eating 6 or 7 apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “I hope she experiences a long and happy life free from concern.”

The gathering, simultaneously observing and challenging the local cultural practice of feasting on pork during the holidays, was founded to replicate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The pig, provided by a first responder, was named for the modern linguistic fad of young people exclaiming “six seven” – originating from a musical verse – often without clear purpose. The trend became so ubiquitous that a major dictionary recently named “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.

A New Life

Six Seven the pig is now scheduled to spend its days at a rural sanctuary “away from grills and cookware”, according to the organizers' announcement.

“The pig pardon has become a cherished method to open the holiday season,” said the cafe owner, in a notably cheerful message.

“It represents the character of Miami: vibrant, multicultural, and grounded in customs that unite the community. Every time, we are honored to observe culture and compassion in a way unique to Miami.”

Participants enjoyed a plant-based fare of croquettes and cafecito as they toasted Six Seven’s big moment.
