Costco boycotting Seal oil omega 3 capsules

Hello Sir or Madame

I would like to know if it is true that you have removed Omega 3 seal oil capsules from your store or not as per this press release on the Sea Shepard Society web site.
http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_060330_1.html

I fail to see why you would do this seeing as the seal fishery is a legal government sanctioned and monitored fishery.

With quotas set at 0.04% of the total harp and Hood seal herds I fail to see the problem with this fishery.

Here are some links to help inform you if you are undecided on this subject.

If you confirm my suspicions that you are in fact boycotting omega 3 seal oil capsules then I feel it is my duty to cut up my Costco card and never shop there again as much as I enjoy shopping at your store, and tell all my friends to do the same as well as lobby my government members to follow my lead.

I'll update when I receive a response.
