What becomes an anti-fur protester most? How about an ensemble resembling road kill?

Women in blood-red paint and animal traps rolled over and played dead outside a Bob Mackie fashion show Tuesday.Inside, Mackie - whose creations have adorned movie stars - displayed fur fashions.

About 100 fur industry workers jeered the protest by nine demonstrators in all.

Instead of fashion's two-cheek air kiss, a man in a tie greeted a protester with a shove. Another man, a furrier, punched a New York Post photographer's camera, and a fight broke out. The furrier was charged with assault.
