Yesterday at an anti-fur protest outside of Bloomingdales on 59st and Lexington Avenue there was, unshockingly, a clash between an anti-fur protester and a Bloomingdales shopper. This allegedly lead to both of them being arrested, according to a reader who sent along these photos. We're waiting for confirmation and more details from the NYPD, but for now the Humane Society of the U.S., who in the past has called the store out for mislabeling fur, has told us they are unaware of this protest or any arrests surrounding it.
