Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Vegans and Vegetarians have launched a petition along with Dough Maw to stop the Bank of England from using animal fat (in form of tallow) in the new £5 and £10 notes. The petition has reached almost 150,000 signatures so far.
For many Hindus Sikhs and Jains, and for vegans and vegetarians as well, the spirit of all monetary transactions will be tainted to varying degrees and the donations and monetary activities of Hindu Temples will be now be felt to be polluted on a moral and emotional level.
