Suite 22 stops selling fur after one demo

Today the owner of Suite 22, Sheffield, handed a letter to activists saying that they would not stock fur in the future, after only one demo of less than an hour.
Today three activists held a demonstration outside Suite 22 on Devonshire Street, Sheffield, who have been selling rabbit fur. Suite 22 (formally called Whites) had been found to be selling fur last year and had removed it after the promise of a demonstration. However, when activists again found fur this year the owner told them that last year's fur had been sold on E-bay instead of in her shop! As soon as the demonstration began today the fur was removed from the shop but the owner refused to confirm in writing that Suite 22 would not stock fur in the future so the demonstration continued (and activists were threatened with violence by someone who is believed to be the owner's brother). However, in less than an hour the owner did a complete u-turn and the following statement was handed to activists:

We currently have no stock of fur and have no future plans of stocking fur.
