Dear People at Dove,
I was wondering whether you could answer a question for me. Being an animal lover I shy away from all products where animals are used (unless they're used fairly) and, recently, one of my mates (a guy called Johnny) told me that Dove handcream contained traces of real doves. Obviously I looked online but I can't find any mention of this anywhere and it's causing me great concern - so much so that, in the meantime, I've stopped using your product.
Could you please let me know the truth of the situation? Are real doves killed and used in Dove products or is it like my friend Alan said - the doves used are part of a breeding program and not actually hurt.... a bit like how fat geese have liposuction and it's this excess fat, which is sucked out, that goes into tubs of delicious goose fat.
My extra dry hands and I desperately await your reply.

- Gutted, I went to Facebook this to them and had to message it instead because you can't write it on their walls. If I get a reply, I'll post it as a new blog but I reckon they may just go quiet on this one. Time will tell!
