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.
英国的素食主义者和纯素食主义者发现从今年九月开始流通的五镑钞票中含有奶牛、绵羊或猪的动物脂肪，这让他们震怒不已。五镑钞票中含有脂肪的消息传开以后，成千上万的人们签署了请愿书请求重新设计该纸币。一些英国的印度教领袖正在考虑禁止此类纸币进入寺庙，因为奶牛在印度教中是神圣的动物。全球很多国家的中央银行都已经改用同种类型的塑料现金，因为塑料比纸更持久耐用。
