remove implication common_ferret (0) -> weasel (13846)
remove alias european_polecat (362) -> common_ferret (0)

Reason: This alias was made with seemingly no discussion that I could find (maybe I looked wrong?). Wikipedia calls this animal (Mustela putorius) the european polecat, and "common ferret" is not mentioned anywhere on that page. When I google common ferret, the only result that uses the name common ferret is Britannica which is referring to the domestic ferret, Mustela furo.
It seems very strange that this term that I can't find used to refer to the species anywhere else is the main tag for it on e6. I don't think this is quite right.

Since the only source I could find that used common ferret was referring to domestic_ferrets, and when you google "common ferret" the results are almost exclusively about domestic ferrets, I think common_ferret should either be nuked or aliased to domestic_ferret. Here's part 2 if it's aliased to domestic_ferret:
imply european_polecat -> weasel
update common_ferret -> european_polecat
alias common_ferret -> domestic_ferret

Sensible when taking into account the tags domestic cat, domestic dog, and so on.
