'a beast' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'see law being broken' is the wordplay.
'being broken' is an anagram indicator.
'see'+'law'='seelaw'
'seelaw' anagrammed gives 'WEASEL'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weasel that I've seen before include "Small fierce animal with slender body and reddish-brown fur" , "Carnivore (with evasive words)" , "Sly type" , "Scoundrel" , "Stoat's relative" .)
