00:00- This poor raccoon apparently got itself stranded on a ledge of the Town Square office building in downtown St. Paul, likely on an errant mission to raid pigeon nests on the skyway over 7th Street. It's been there for two days now, without food or water. @MPRnews
- Here is the #mprraccoon being picked up by technicians from Wildlife Management Services just now. Taken away by truck to an "undisclosed location."
00:00 - Top floor law firm @donnelly_law says UBS building management has told them the #mprraccoon formerly in their window HAS BEEN TRAPPED.
- The #mprraccoon is that little dark spot up on the building. He's coming down, one floor at a time. Four stories so far.
- For those of you worried about #mprraccoon: I've talked to wildlife experts, who say getting close to raccoon may invite attack or prompt it to leap or fall from ledge. Fire officials say they can't in good conscience risk a life putting a FF over the side of bldg for a raccoon.
