I recently received a comment (Hi Pawan!) asking if Dove is animal-testing-free.  I asked a few of my friends, and they all said they thought Dove was a highly ethical company and probably was cruelty-free.  Dove must have some really good PR, that’s all I can figure (I do like their Campaign for Real Beauty — that seems nice), because Dove is owned by Unilever, which is on PETA’s bad list.  PETA is targeting Unilever, hoping to convince it to go cruelty-free the way Pepsi and Coca-cola have — right now Unilever is torturing piglets and mice.  Do not buy products from Dove if you think piglets and mice should live pain-free lives.

(Unilever also owns Axe, Degree, Finesse, Lever 2000, Pears Transparent Soap, Pond’s, Q-Tips, Salon Selectives, Snuggle, Suave, Sunlight, Sunsilk, Sure, Vaseline, and Wisk.  If you care about animal suffering, please don’t buy those either — cut Unilever off until it stops torturing piglets.)
