They're the bad guys in both Wind in the Willows and Watership Down, duh. There are community theatre Youtube links I could make but won't. Much as the Eskimos are fabled to have too many names for snow, the British have too many names for varmints.
I was all about ready to put my hands on my hips, smugly smile, and go "well axstually . . ." but no, after looking it up it seems stoats are a type of weasel. Which, I guess, makes them super related to weasels. Are weasels still considered vermin in some parts? I thought, like hawks, it's been well accepted they do more good than harm by keeping rodent populations in check. ::note:: I wouldn't really throw a smug "well actually" out there. At least, not intentionally.Much as the Eskimos are fabled to have too many names for snow, the British have too many names for varmints.
