I believe they're vernacularly referred to as "polecats" in the US.
We had John Wayne, the Finns apparently have to make do with Audi PN#
4A0-998-098 B (there, mandatory Audi content.)

Sniff, the kits seems like a mighty poor substitute for a proven
polecat eradicator like the Duke.

Now that Halloween is officially over I can offer you the following
insight on the pernicious dangers the Europeans, especial Finns, face
vis-=E0-vis "martens":

Although from the info, it appears the bastards may have invaded
Duluth, MN!

Google never ceases to amaze me!  With radioactive dangers like these
roving somewhere near the arctic circle I'm amazed there are any Finns
left in Finland ;-), or perhaps this gives new meaning to "lands of
the midnight sun."
