Why do humans find predators cute?
Cats, dogs, bears, owls, weasels. Most of them could seriously injure/kill an average human with minor difficulty and yet we find them adorable?
Does not compute.

Brb getting killed by a weasel
You joke but a weasel could cause serious damage if it was determined enough. They're extremely agile and hard to hold onto because they can bite you no matter where you grab them.
Like a snake but with claws.
I've seen weasels in the wild. They are tiny.
Depends a bit on what you want to consider a "weasel"
The weasel family (mustildae) is pretty diverse, we don't necessarily call everything in that family a "weasel" but that distinction is somewhat arbitrary.
It includes all manner of critters from the Least Weasel (yes, that's seriously what someone decided to call the smallest weasel) that can be as small as about 4½" in length and weigh about an ounce or so
Up to Giant Otters that can reach about 5'7" in length or Sea Otters that can weigh about 100lbs
And in between you have some things like badgers and wolverines
Otters, wolverines, and badgers are mustelids but not in the greater weasel family.
Weasels encompass a decent sized group of species. Some of which can get up to 60lbs.
Even the small ones can take down prey up to 10x their size.
If a weasel wanted to fuck you up it very well could. Even if you kill it you'll have a lot of scars to show for it.
Sure one at a time, but what about one dozen starving crazed weasels?
