This Swine Life: Pig Named Six Seven Granted Clemency by Miami-Dade Leader.

Although not quite at the same level as pardoning holiday birds, but the Miami-Dade County mayor experienced a ceremonial pardon event this week by formally pardoning the life of a pig named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava carried out the annual tradition at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s iconic 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 clear references to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued from the start of the onset of a second term in office.

“Except perhaps for eating six or seven apples per day,” she went on. “I hope she experiences a long and happy life away from worry.”

The gathering, which both honors and questions the region’s Hispanic tradition of eating roast pork during the holidays, was created to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The swine, provided by a local firefighter, was christened after the modern linguistic fad of young people yelling “six seven” – deriving from a hip-hop line – often seemingly at random. The craze became so ubiquitous 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 farm sanctuary “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the organizers' announcement.

“The pig pardon has become one of our favorite ways to open the end-of-year celebrations,” said the event host, in a decidedly positive message.

“It captures the spirit of Miami: joyful, diverse, and grounded in customs that unite the community. Annually, we are delighted to mark tradition and kindness in a way distinctively Miamian.”

Attendees enjoyed a plant-based fare of croquettes and strong coffee as they celebrated the pig's pardon.
