Anti-fur activists faced off with security guards after storming Dolce & Gabbana flagship store on Fifth Avenue Sunday, according to a protester and photos from the scene.

About five of the animal-rights demonstrators broke off from a larger group who were protesting outside the store and forced their way into the building Sunday afternoon, activist Len Goldberg said.

Once inside, the demonstrators were confronted by a number of security guards who attempted to keep the doors closed while the protesters were inside, Goldberg added.

The demonstrators on the outside then tried to yank the doors open in a “tug of war” with the security guards, Goldberg said. The guards eventually relented and the demonstrators who stormed into the store were allowed out.

Goldberg said the demonstrators were targeting the high-end fashion brand because they are one of the few outlets that still uses fur in their products.

“Dolce & Gabbana is being so stubborn in continuing to have rabbits and minks killed,” he said.

The company did not immediately return request for comment.
