The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named 6-7 Spared by Miami Dade County Leader.

Although not quite at the identical stature as pardoning festive fowl, but the mayor of Miami-Dade had her own presidential-style act this week by ritually sparing the life of a pig named Six Seven.

Daniella Levine Cava carried out the annual tradition at the Cuban-themed Latin Cafe 2000 in the center of Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.

“The swine has done no wrong. She deserves this act of mercy. She has committed zero crimes,” stated the mayor in a speech with obvious nods to the sheer volume of pardons issued from the start of the onset of a current administration.

“Except perhaps for eating 6 or 7 apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “Let this swine have a prosperous future without fear.”

The gathering, either celebrating or rejecting the region’s Hispanic tradition of consuming swine during the holidays, was founded to mirror the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The animal, provided by a local firefighter, was christened after the popular vernacular phrase of young people shouting “six-seven” – originating from a hip-hop line – often for no discernable reason. The craze became so ubiquitous that a leading lexicon site recently declared “6-7” its top term for 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 organizers' announcement.

“The annual pig pardon has become a beloved tradition to kick off the festive period,” said the event host, in a decidedly positive message.

“It embodies the character of Miami: joyful, multicultural, and based in heritage that foster togetherness. Each year, we are delighted to mark heritage and mercy in a way unique to Miami.”

Guests enjoyed a meat-free selection of spinach croquetas and cafecito as they toasted Six Seven’s big moment.
