How evil is the weasel?

The real weasel doesn't have much evil. When I was a child, my friends and I almost caught one in a rhubarb dog, but unfortunately ran into a pit (at that time, chickens were raised at home, and the chickens at home had been bitten by weasels before).

In some novels and stories, weasels are made a little weird.

In some folk customs, weasels, together with foxes and snakes, are enshrined as "Huang Xian, Fox Fairy and Dragon Fairy" by people in many rural areas. It means keeping the family safe, eliminating disasters and reducing diseases and disasters.

China people dislike the weasel, except that it has the problem of sneak attack on poultry. More importantly, it has the same "black magic" as the fox, which can confuse the weak. In the early years, people often saw people "attached" to their bodies by weasels. These people are crazy and nonsense, and they are generally the "spokesmen" of weasels. They spoke the weasel's thoughts from people's mouths, such as: "I didn't steal your chicken, why did you block my hole?" Wait a minute. To deal with this kind of patients, people will invite venerable elders or witches to face the patients, gently persuade the weasels to leave quickly, and some will sharply reprimand them with tough measures: What will happen if they don't get away?

It is unknown when China people began to demonize the weasel, but the weasel is really not as "magical" as people think. Weasel is a common small carnivore in nature. It just follows the law of "natural selection" and has some survival skills that other animals do not have in the process of evolution. Weasels can shrink their bones and pass through caves or gaps smaller than their bodies. The weasel has a pair of sebum smelly glands beside its anus, which can release odor when it is in danger. Therefore, the weasel also has a less elegant nickname, called skunk. If a ferret is chased by a predator, it will give off a stench when the predator catches up with it. This smell, from light to stopping predators, causes predators to suffocate. The stench of ferrets is not only a self-defense tool, but also a hunting weapon. A hedgehog is curled up in a ball, but the tiger can't help it, but the ferret can. It just needs to find a gap in the hedgehog and turn around and fart. Soon, the hedgehog was stunned by the ferret's smelly fart, and he stretched himself. At this time, ferrets can easily perform "surgery" on hedgehogs and enjoy delicious food.

In the northeast, it is said that weasels can practice witchcraft. A man who saves the weasel will be lucky in this life, but his second generation will be persecuted. If a man kills a weasel, he will be hanged with a little weasel. In other words, it is unlucky to meet a weasel.

In a word, weasels are not so evil. In reality, it is also an expert in catching mice and a natural enemy of mice. It is estimated that a weasel can eat 1500-3200 mice a year. It can also be used in medicine and treatment. Its skin can also be used as a coat.
