Sluggoslinger, where did you do your research? You may be correct, I'm just asking. My understanding is that menhaden oil IS the primary component of WD. The "reduction industry" used to harvest whales to produce industrial oil, now it uses menhaden. The largest harvester of menhaden oil on the east coast is a company called Omega Potein, formerly called Zapata Corporation, founded by George Bush Sr. The State of Virginia refuses to shut this company down. Hmmm....I wonder why? I use WD too, but I think it's time to start thinking about using something else. For a great article on the history of the menhaden fishery and Omega Protein go to
