A raccoon that went viral last year for going on a drunken rampage inside a Virginia liquor store has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for an animal shelter. The trashed raccoon was discovered snoozing in a booze-induced haze by the toilet last December after helping itself to 14 bottles of alcohol in the Ashland ABC Store. The Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter has since raised more than $290,000 from selling merchandise emblazoned with the masked bandit’s likeness and the slogan “trashed panda,” The Washington Post reported.
