Fur seal enterprise gets a negative response (7)

I believe the answer is:

refusal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'negative response' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fur seal enterprise gets a' is the wordplay.
'fur seal' can be anagrammed to 'REFUSAL'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refusal that I've seen before include "Non-acceptance" , "Failure to accept" , "Declining of an offer" , "regrets?" , "Seal fur (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
