A HUNDRED hamsters were gassed to death to make this sick coat.

And wealthy customers are paying £1750 a time for the coats, which are
lined with the animals' fur, at a posh Scots store.

The Austrian-made coats are on sale at House of Bruar near Blair Atholl,
Perthshire which is nicknamed the Harrods of the north.

The hamsters are crammed into chambers and gassed to death to prevent
bloodstains from spoiling their thin fur.

Last night, animal rights campaigners begged shoppers to boycott the cruel
trade.

SSPCA spokeswoman Doreen Graham said: 'Animal lovers should be appalled
that hamsters are being killed to make fur coats.
