POPSSeal Hunt Butchery Continues Claims of seal oil being a greater benefit to health than regular fish oil or plant based omega 3's seem to be the latest ploy by a despicable industry and its brain-dead political allies.

One way or another, these people are paying too high a cost for their "free" healthcare.
