Today, campaigners turned up at the Next One Leather store in Leeds to continue the spree of regular demonstrations outside the shop and to protest their sale of fur.

After holding posters and handing out leaflets, security staff arrived to kick the protest outside, however the owner of Next One Leather invited campaigners into the shop to discuss their concerns about the sale of real fur.

The store was completely fur-free and they were reassured that real fur would not be stocked ever again and a statement to confirm so will follow suite.

This is a great victory for our campaign against the sale of real fur in the West Yorkshire area and would like to thank everybody who contacted Next One Leather and attended peaceful protests there.

As a result of all fur being removed, we will be calling off the day of action planned for Saturday and are asking for all contact with the shop to cease. We also ask that campaigners no longer contact those companies associated with N.O.L.
