This Swine Life: Pig Named 6-7 Pardoned by Miami-Dade Leader.

While perhaps not at the same level as granting clemency to Thanksgiving turkeys, but the mayor of Miami-Dade experienced 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-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the core of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“The swine has done no wrong. She deserves this act of mercy. She has committed zero crimes,” declared Levine Cava in a speech with obvious nods to the extraordinary and sizable number of executive clemencies issued since the beginning of a second term in office.

“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” the mayor added. “May this pig enjoy a prosperous future without fear.”

This ceremony, which both honors and questions the area's customary feast of feasting on pork during the holidays, was founded to emulate the annual turkey pardoning at the White House.

The swine, provided by a Coral Gables firefighter, was given its name from the current slang trend of young people shouting “six-seven” – deriving from a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The craze became so ubiquitous that a prominent word reference recently declared “6-7” its 2025 word of 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 kick off the end-of-year celebrations,” said Eric Castellanos, in a decidedly positive message.

“It embodies the spirit of Miami: vibrant, diverse, and grounded in customs that unite the community. Every time, we are proud to celebrate heritage and mercy in a way distinctively Miamian.”

Guests enjoyed a plant-based fare of croquettes and strong coffee as they marked Six Seven’s big moment.
