A Pig's Tale: Pig Named Six Seven Spared by Miami-Dade Mayor.

While perhaps not at the same level as granting clemency to holiday birds, 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 executed the holiday gesture at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the heart of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“This animal is guiltless. Clemency is justified for her. No offenses are on her docket,” stated the mayor in a speech with inescapable allusions to the extraordinary and sizable number of executive clemencies issued from the start of the beginning of a new presidential term.

“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “Let this swine have a prosperous future away from worry.”

The event, either celebrating or rejecting the area's customary feast of eating roast pork during the holidays, was established to mirror the yearly bird sparing at the White House.

The animal, contributed by a Coral Gables firefighter, was christened after the current slang trend of young people shouting “six seven” – originating from a musical verse – often for no discernable reason. The trend became so widespread that a leading lexicon site recently made “six-seven” its 2025 word of the year.

A Peaceful Retirement

The pardoned swine is now scheduled to spend its days at a countryside refuge “away from grills and cookware”, according to the organizers' announcement.

“The annual pig pardon has become a beloved tradition to open the festive period,” said Eric Castellanos, in a particularly upbeat message.

“It represents the spirit of Miami: happy, multicultural, and grounded in customs that bring people together. Annually, we are delighted to mark tradition and kindness in a way distinctively Miamian.”

Attendees enjoyed a plant-based fare of croquettes and Cuban coffee as they marked the swine's new lease on life.
