The Porcine Pardon: Pig Named Six Seven Pardoned by Miami-Dade Mayor.

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

Daniella Levine Cava performed the seasonal stunt at the Cuban-style Latin Cafe 2000 in the core of Miami’s iconic Little Havana neighborhood.

“The swine has done no wrong. Clemency is justified for her. No offenses are on her docket,” stated the mayor in a speech with inescapable allusions to the sheer volume of executive clemencies issued since the beginning of a current administration.

“Unless you count eating six or seven apples per day,” Levine Cava continued. “I hope she experiences a long and happy life free from concern.”

The event, simultaneously observing and challenging the area's customary feast of feasting on pork during the holidays, was established to emulate the traditional fowl clemency at the White House.

The swine, contributed by a first responder, was named for the popular vernacular phrase of young people shouting “6-7” – originating from a hip-hop line – often without clear purpose. The trend became so widespread that a prominent word reference recently made “6-7” its top term for the year.

A Future Secured

The pardoned swine is now set to enjoy its days at a rural sanctuary “distant from barbecues and spits”, according to the organizers' announcement.

“The annual pig pardon has become a cherished method to kick off the end-of-year celebrations,” said the event host, in a decidedly positive message.

“It represents the spirit of Miami: vibrant, multicultural, and based in heritage that bring people together. Annually, we are proud to celebrate heritage and mercy in a way distinctively Miamian.”

Guests enjoyed a meat-free selection of spinach croquetas and strong coffee as they celebrated the swine's new lease on life.
