A petition demanding that the Bank remove the presence of animals products in the production of currency has garnered nearly 19,000 signatures and counting.

The petition reads, "This is unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the U.K."

While animal products can be found in several commonplace items, dissenting voices argue that the banknotes flagrantly disregard those who consciously seek to avoid such items for various ethical considerations and religious purposes.

Despite the backlash, the Bank of England has made no indication that it intends to change its currency production process.
