Just like the President pardons a turkey ahead of Thanksgiving, PETA is pleading with Miami-Dade's mayor to continue a Christmas tradition started by her predecessor, Carlos Gimenez, its the annual Noche Buena pig pardoning. The animal rights organization wants Mayor Danielle Levine Cava to host either a virtual ceremony this year. If not, they're hoping she declares Christmas Eve "Save a Pig" Day.
Personally, I'm not a vegetarian, I used to be though so I respect their wishes and the tradition! I mean come on, pigs are so cute!
This afternoon PETA members will be handing out vegan hams and cubanitos on Southwest 8th Street in Little Havana.
