I have read an in depth article on this really silly 'sport' (if you can call it that). The animal used *IS* actually a feral ferret, and not a polecat. The men are allowed to wear only the special pants (baggy, yet tied at the ankles to prevent the ferret's escape) and that's it. No underwear, no jocks, nothing (So it could get to be really painful if they latched onto the 'privates'). The man must also move quickly, and change direction constantly, so the ferret stays agitated, and continuously bites the 'ferret legger'. Needless to say, it gets bloodly really quickly, with the ferret latching on, and having the leg/whatever it's holding onto shaken around. The record holder aparently had 2 down his pants for over 1 hour.... pretty sick eh?
