Oath of God condemns both the animal husbandry processes in today’s corporate factory farms as well as the daily beatings, the smashing of piglets against cement floors, the bodily mutilations without anesthesia or veterinarian care as well as the long-term confinement of sows in gestation crates which is known to cause psychotic breakdowns for many sows.
Separately is the drug issue. An estimated 160 nations have boycotted US meat, chicken, turkey and pork because of various drug residues. One drug in particular that is frequently injected into 80% of most pigs in today’s factory farms is ractopamine. This drug increases flesh mass and weight which brings a higher dollar to the factory farm owner. It also increases the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Like so many other drugs that are either injected or food laced, consumers should consider feeding their family a higher quality and safer product or to avoid the meat altogether.
God never intended these animal husbandry processes to be imposed on any animal as they are cruel and inhumane. Oath of God outlines how to choose higher grades of this type of meat as well as alternatives but we do urge people to specifically boycott all factory farm meats whenever possible.

Pigs – Factory Farms
1. Sows (female pigs) are considered more intelligent than dogs and cats.
2. The sows have psychotic breakdowns due to long term confinement. The sows are not able to move 1″ most of their lives.
3. The sows are not eating the natural diet that God foreordained them to eat. Therefore humans do not receive the nutrients expected from this meat. The GMO soy and corn are fed to fatten them up. In an outdoor natural setting, the pig will consume fresh foods which include grass, water plants, bush and tree leaves, vegetables of all kinds (especially green ones like cabbage) fruit, nuts and meat. They even enjoy red soil and soil sods for taste and texture which helps to aerate the soil for local farmers.
4. In many states, processed food waste can be fed to pigs, but if this waste is not properly treated pigs that consume it may develop diseases such as hog cholera, Foot and Mouth Disease, African swine fever, and swine vesicular disease.(1) Hogs fed contaminated food wastes can also spreadSalmonella, Campylobacter,Trichinella, and Toxoplasma, pathogens often responsible for foodborne illnesses, to other livestock and humans.(2)
5. Up to 160 nations ban American meat ban US meat (including poultry) due to harmful drug residue. China, Russian and the European Union as well as many other countries snub their noses at what Americans feed their families. Pork is included in the ban. This is due to high intolerance levels of acceptable drugs or drugs that are considered harmful to humans despite the drug residue level. One such drug is ractopamine which is injected into 80% of most pigs in today’s factory farms. Ractopamine increases flesh mass and weight which brings a higher dollar to the factory farm owner. It also increases the profits of the pharmaceutical companies.
Like so many other drugs that are either injected or food laced, consumers should consider feeding their family a higher quality and safer product or to avoid the meat altogether. Other nations consider the drugs injected into the sows as being harmful to both the animal and humans. Factory farm pigs are injected with steroids, growth hormones and antibiotics. Antibiotics cause a 3% boost in weight gain in healthy animals. Antibiotics also help a sick animal cross the threshold into slaughter without being detected as sick. The drugs are either injected or sprinkled over the animal’s food.
Humans and livestock often receive the same antibiotic drugs. Therefore humans are consuming drugs that a physician never prescribed for them. About 80% of antibiotics given to livestock animals are also given to humans. The FDA and Congress are very concerned about not having enough new antibiotics to battle both old and new immune resistant infectious diseases for this reason. .
6. Pigs are genetically modified to produce more piglets. It’s not God’s blueprint for the animal. God intended the sow to have 8 piglets – not 16 piglets. This is due to greed and avarice on the supply side and gross convenience on the consumer side.
7. Due to genetic modifications the sow will often experience a prolapsed uterus. She will never receive veterinarian care.
8. Baby piglets are smashed against the cement floors. This is a slow and painful death. This is routine and is done in very high numbers.
9. All undercover videos, despite the location, show sows or piglets being beaten by employees. This is daily routine. There is no apparent reason except that workers are trained not to show compassion. The undercover videos show fits of rage against both the sows and her piglets by employees.
10. The piglets have their tails cropped off without anesthesia. This is considered a bodily mutilation.
11. The piglets have their teeth grinded without anesthesia. This is considered a bodily mutilation.
12. The piglets have their ears mutilated without anesthesia. This is considered a bodily mutilation.
13. Processed meats such as all cured hams, hot dogs, sausages, and deli meats have nitrates. Nitrates consumed in excess have been linked to diseases like leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and ovarian, colon, rectal, bladder, stomach, esophageal, pancreatic, and thyroid cancer. Sodium nitrate and potassium nitrite are added to cured meat to preserve its color, prevent fats from going rancid, and stop bacteria from growing. These chemical compounds are also found in drinking water thanks to nitrogen-based fertilizers as well as livestock waste. If nitrites are exposed to high heat during cooking, they can convert to nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic. And when nitrates are used as a food additive or consumed, they can convert into nitrites. (3)
