Vegan watercolor brushes

Does anybody know where I can get some vegan watercolor brushes? Are there any other vegan artists out there? A couple of my brushes are made of animal hair, but I have seen teflon watercolor brushes. I just don't know where to find them online and if I did find them online, there's no guarantee that the glue used to make them isn't ya know, tested on animals or even made of them. Years ago I heard glue's made of horse stomach.
Do you think it'd be all right if I continued to use the brushes I have?
What about my watercolors? :s
Just thought I'd announce to other artists that Arches watercolor paper uses gelatin to size it.
I am switching to Yupo watercolor paper. It's made of polypropylene.
Synthetic art brushes can be found at almost any art store.
Although finding a vegan watercolor pallet/set remains a problem.
I have intentions of contacting Yarka watercolors, but IDK what they can tell me. I'll let you know what they say.
This is the email supposedly from Yarka watercolor company, but it says it's from a person and it does not say what products. I find this kind of random, brief and unspecific:
Hello,
This is to confirm that our products do not contain any animal bi-products.
Sincerely,
