A quick upload of pictures from the ongoing campaign against the Bristol branch of Cruise and their decision to sell real fur in their outlets nationwide. A full report is to follow later.

At around 2pm, protestors from around the country, gathering in bristol for the National ARC meeting tomorrow (sunday 5th April) gathered outside the Bristol branch of Cruise to voice their disgust at the sale of fur. The police and store security however decided not to allow the activists their right to peaceful protest and forcibly manhandled them from the area in full public view. Here are some pictures and a video of the action, more are to follow later.

Anyone in the Bristol area are encouraged to join the protest and show solidarity with the evicted activists, adding weight to their demand that the Cabot Circus shopping centre and the Cruise chain of 'fashion stores' stop advocating the barbaric trade in animal fur and allowing it's sale.

I know a lot of areas are now partialy run by private security firms in things like BID's still unles it's private land then an offense was being committed by those removing these protestors.
