弗吉尼亚醉浣熊闯酒铺近一年：周边商品为收容所募得逾29万美元，是平常一年捐款的14倍多
2025年11月29日凌晨，弗吉尼亚州汉诺威县阿什兰（Ashland）一家州营ABC酒铺里，一只浣熊从天花板掉进店内，喝下朗姆酒、苏格兰威士忌、私酿酒和蛋奶酒等多种酒，打翻打碎14瓶酒，最后倒在员工洗手间的马桶旁呼呼大睡，次日清晨被店员发现。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，县动物保护人员把它带回收容所醒了几个小时酒，随后放归野外；它瘫倒在地的照片传遍全球，还被《周六夜现场》编成了小品。
汉诺威县动物保护与收容所把这场闹剧变成了筹款机会：他们与服装公司Bonfire合作，推出以瘫倒浣熊插画和绰号Trashed Panda（醉猫熊）为主题的周边系列，有T恤、卫衣、帽子、马克杯和贴纸，还有Hot Trash Summer、Trick or Trashed等季节款。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，该系列至今已募得超过29万美元，而收容所平常一年的捐款不到2万美元，一只浣熊一晚顶了平常14年多的捐款。县动物保护主管Jeffrey Parker对该报说，我们从没想过一只浣熊能为我们做这么多。
这笔钱已经花在了实处：为该部门8名动物保护人员配执法记录仪，县监事会10月28日一致批准了这项采购，据Dexerto报道，这个五年期、总额6.5万美元的项目中约3.9万美元来自浣熊周边收入；其余收入还用于新建动物住所、玩具、恒温食物棚和社区宠物食品站。Parker说，部门目前还剩约14万美元，希望留出一部分设立救助受伤动物的应急基金。县监事Faye Prichard在10月28日的会议上说，我想不起我们欠哪只动物的情，能比得上欠这只浣熊的。
随着闯祸一周年临近，收容所11月3日在Facebook宣布推出最后一批Trashed Panda周边，并写道，一个糟糕的夜晚，真的带来了很多很多好事。据WWBT报道，当晚带浣熊到场的动物保护人员Samantha Martin说，它此前还闯过一家空手道馆和车管所办事处，算得上是惯犯。至于这只浣熊如今身在何处，没人说得清，部门也没有再接到浣熊闯店的报告。Parker说，希望它过得好，过一种清醒的生活。
Virginia's 'Trashed Panda' Raccoon Has Raised More Than $290,000 for Its Shelter, 14 Times a Normal Year of Donations
In the early hours of November 29, 2025, a raccoon dropped through a ceiling tile into a state-run ABC liquor store in Ashland, Hanover County, Virginia, sampled rum, Scotch, moonshine and eggnog, broke 14 bottles, and passed out beside the employee toilet, where staff found it the next morning. According to The Washington Post, county animal protection officers took it to the shelter to sober up for several hours before releasing it back into the wild; photos of the animal sprawled on the bathroom floor spread around the world and were even turned into a Saturday Night Live sketch.
Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter turned the episode into a fundraiser, teaming up with apparel company Bonfire on a merchandise line built around an illustration of the passed-out raccoon and its nickname, 'Trashed Panda': T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, mugs and stickers, plus seasonal designs such as 'Hot Trash Summer' and 'Trick or Trashed.' According to The Washington Post, the line has now brought in more than $290,000, against the shelter's usual annual donations of less than $20,000, so one raccoon's night out raised more than fourteen normal years of giving. 'We never thought a raccoon would do this for us,' Jeffrey Parker, the county's chief of animal protection, told the paper.
The money is already at work: body cameras for the department's eight animal protection officers, a purchase county supervisors unanimously approved on October 28, with about $39,000 of the five-year, $65,000 program coming from raccoon merchandise, according to Dexerto; the rest is funding new animal housing, toys, a temperature-controlled food shed and a community pet pantry. Parker said about $140,000 remains, and he hopes to set aside an emergency fund for injured animals. 'I don't know when we've owed a debt of gratitude to any animal as much as we do to that raccoon,' county supervisor Faye Prichard said at the October 28 meeting.
With the first anniversary approaching, the shelter announced its final Trashed Panda collection on Facebook on November 3, writing that one bad night really did lead to a whole lot of good. According to WWBT, Officer Samantha Martin, who responded that night, counted the raccoon as a repeat offender that had previously gotten into a karate studio and a DMV office. Nobody knows where the raccoon is now, and the department has had no further reports of raccoon break-ins. Parker said he hopes it is living a good life, 'a sober one.'
