Rejected petition Have animal fat removed from our new £5 notes
Rejected on
It's recently been discovered that the Bank of England have been making our £5 notes using animal fat. Tallow, to be exact, which is taken from cows. This is completely unnecessary, selfish, unkind and an insult to people that choose to live a meat free life. Let's get this to the HOC!
This information was gathered from a Tweet response from the Bank of england 28 Nov 4.24pm.
