UK's New 5 Pound Note Contains Animal Fat
英國新發布的五鎊鈔票含有動物脂肪成分
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.
英國的素食主義者和純素食主義者發現從今年九月開始流通的五鎊鈔票中含有奶牛、綿羊或豬的動物脂肪，這讓他們震怒不已。五鎊鈔票中含有脂肪的消息傳開以后，成千上萬的人們簽署了請愿書請求重新設計該紙幣。一些英國的印度教領袖正在考慮禁止此類紙幣進入寺廟，因為奶牛在印度教中是神圣的動物。全球很多國家的中央銀行都已經改用同種類型的塑料現金，因為塑料比紙更持久耐用。
