But . . . Unilever owns Dove, and a lot of other subsidiary companies. Unilever actually makes fairly little under the “Unilever” brand. So if you buy Dove or any of Unilever’s myriad of other brands, wouldn’t you be supporting animal torture?

I don’t like that they torture the animals, but it is not Dove’s fault. Unilever own Dove, and they are the ones torturing the animals, not Dove themselves. So no, I will not stop buying Dove products.

So many brands it’s heartbreaking.Oh yeah I forgot about Jif! Skippy peanut butter too is from Unilever.(They have a lot of nerve putting a pic of a cartoon squirrel on the front too.) I have to admit I love my processed peanut butter too. I tried natural peanut butter before and could not stand it. I think you would like Kraft it’s not too sweet or salty which is pretty good. That’s crazy that the lines are so so long at the Walmart you go. The one I go to hardly ever has long lines.

Hi Natasha!

It’s just disgusting that Unilever owns all those brands! I still mourn the loss of my Jif peanut butter. I’d really like Unilever to go cruelty-free just for that alone (the others would be nice too!). Usually I much prefer natural products but I like my peanut butter processed and sweetened. I’ve been working my way through numerous other peanut butters, and some are actually pretty good but Jif is still my favorite. MaraNatha No-Stir peanut butter actually isn’t so bad — very natural AND it doesn’t separate! — but it still is kind of oily. I do keep meaning to try Kraft peanut butter but every time I go to Wal-Mart I end up almost buying it but then leaving the store in a state of frustration when I realize the lines are a half hour long. Safeway brand is my current usual — but it’s too sweet.

Hi Vanessa!

That’s WONDERFUL that Brut is no longer owned by Unilever! I shall remove Brut from the bad list immediately. I would not want the virtuous Pharmacare to suffer for Unilever’s atrocities. (And thank you for sourcing your information — that is so very convenient for me!)

Regards,

Brut has actually been bought by Pharmacare, an Australian company that does not participate in animal testing.

I’d hate to see Pharmacare targeted, when it is a company that we should all be supporting.
