Mustelids are weasels, stoats, otters, mink, pine martens, pole cats etc.
Gamekeepers regularly exterminate weasels & stoats, hence the flipping rat & rabbit problem. Mink are evil & attempts being made to exterminate. Pine martens & pole cats are rare, endangered & protected (in theory).

Thanks for enlightening me. And there was I thinking it was some rare New Zealand treasure, ah well, live and learn.

Thanks Broomcroft. I left badgers under the etc as rather contentious on a TB thread
