Animal rights activists attempting to shut down Macy’s to protest the sale of furs scuffled in New York City with furious shoppers who strong-armed their way into the department store. After nearly an hour of confrontation with several dozen protesters, Macy’s officials locked the front doors, and police held open a side entrance. Officers issued 58 summonses for disorderly conduct and arrested one person for resisting arrest. Members of a group called Trans-Species Unlimited said they had targeted Macy’s because it is one of the largest department store chains selling furs and because the store refused to discuss the issue.
