UK's New 5 Pound Note Contains Animal Fat
英国新发布的五镑钞票含有动物脂肪成分

Vegetarians and vegans across the UK were outraged to discover that the new five pound note, which went into circulation this September, contains traces of animal fat from cows, sheep, or pigs. Since news broke about the contents of the new fiver, thousands of people have signed a petition asking for the notes to be redesigned. Some British Hindu leaders are considering banning the notes from temples because cows are sacred in the Hindu religion. Central banks in dozens of countries around the world have already switched to the same type of plastic cash because it is much more durable than paper.
