This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition Ban the use of animal fat in UK money for the animals,vegans and the religious!
The use of animal fat in the £5 and £10 notes are unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the UK. Oh and animals also!
More details
Animals are not ours to use, eat, test or wear! Why do humans find the need to put animals bodies in everything? Leather for example is a dead cows skin and just think if it wasn't dowered in chemicals it would rot, smell and decay. That's a great wallet or sofa you have there !
Why does the government disrespect religious communities and vegans with using dead animal in our money? Why do animals need to be used in our money ?
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to urge the Bank of England not to use animal products in its bank notes.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
