Are these orgs vegan and ethical?

I have noticed over the past 5 years a proliferation of 'vegan' products, 'vegan' companies who talk the same mantra about being 'ethical,' 'vegan,' 'compassionate', etc and get this, their products are free of animal-derived ingredients and support the principles (not the vegan principles) of cruelty-free products.
This is absolute rubbish. It is either what is laid down by the tenets of veganism or it ain't. People should stop this veganwash of trying to show they are ethical. Get out of the vegan loop and get honest with yourself. Have a good look at the mirror and see what is reflected back. Does the product you slapped on your body have dead bees legs sticking out of that lippo or that body cream? Let's get one thing straight non-humans encompass all non-human beings. Bees are living beings. Just because it does not moo, bark or make the many other vocal audible sounds of communication they still have feelings. Bees, silk worms and other insects are still not used in vegan food or clothing. I will name and shame UNETHICAL companies and groups. Vegan Action are NOT vegan ethical, Justvegan.com.au promote Paul Benhaim Living Food recipes book (many ingredients have bee(vomit) pollen or raw honey). There is nothing I know that states bee (vomit) products is either vegan or has anything to do with raw food. This is a myth that 'psuedo' raw fooders think they are living a 'compassionate' life. I have stood in front of many raw fooders and they go and on about how some vegans eat cooked food and how they eat raw food (and bee vomit), thinking they are more ethical, but forget they are wearing cow's (leather) skin shoes or wearing sheep skin. Whereas vegans do not wear dead animals.
