Drunk raccoon raises ₹2.3 crore for Virginia animal shelter

A drunk raccoon broke into a Virginia liquor store, drank spilled alcohol and passed out beside a bathroom toilet. After being safely released, its viral story inspired the Trashed Panda fundraiser. Merchandise sales raised over $250,000, with proceeds supporting animal care, enrichment programmes and specialised rescue equipment at Hanover County Animal Protection, helping more animals in need.
