Hi Hank, I understand sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our health. I always look for alternate ways. If I have a choice I prefer not using any animal sources, especially seals. I cannot justify taking a supplement purely on chance I.e. without any medical evidence. I do believe there is a difference between the two. It is the seals that are the mammals. Their quantity is greatly outnumbered by salmon or fish which is farmed. Besides the fish oil, I eat walnuts and flax seeds. A vegetarian diet can be a very healthy diet. Fantastic! I believe it can help in many health issues.

@avmcbellar I'm going to jump in here you mentioned farm raised salmon that is the worst kind you can eat . To many chemicals in the water and they don't have fresh water changes or running water in those flutes . Not sure that is the name but they remind me of the coal coming on the convaerbelt . No farm raised salmon at all never buy them .

Hi, I just want to tell you that today I have to restock our Omega3 supply. First time I have had to think about it since our conversation regarding it in early July. You probably had forgotten but I was considering a Canadian brand that contained a higher level of DPA. than most brands and was said to be beneficial for SFPN. Unfortunately it is derived from seals. You and I referred to the ethical question of seal derivation vs. fish. I was leaning toward buying this product but today when I went to their website, and as soon as they mentioned the word "seal" I was immediately put off. I have decided am not going that route. I'm no saint but it just feels weird to me to pursue this product.
So, I am sending this message to you to thank you for that input you gave me. It now means a lot to me. Best, Hnak
