Guest scottish-staffy Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 if its genuin wild euro polecat as in dena tested to be over 95% euro polecat We are 98% bonobo chimp (or summat very similar), so that stat means bugger all unless it's 100% in the uk its near inpossable to get 100 % euro polecat due to all the ferals e.c.t breeding with the polecats over on the contanant it is easayer to get 100% euro but in sum arias still hard goin to get that amount in the polecat Quote Link to post
