Netizens Pray for Raccoon Scaling the Wall of a Tall Skyscraper
Jun 14, 2018
Amidst all the negativity that we see all day on social media, a raccoon got everybody’s attention as he was all over social media and people came together to pray for its life. It scaled the wall of a tall skyscraper in Minnesota, United States and as he moved from one place to another and climbed more, people prayed and tweeted in response for its well being. The raccoon was spotted by Tim Nelson, a Minnesota Public Radio reporter who kept on tweeting about the mammal’s movements. People inside the office too shared the raccoon’s pictures crossing their windows. It was Nelson’s updates that resulted in the hashtag #mprraccoon that is doing the rounds all over the internet. Here is how people tweeted and prayed for the raccoon.

I think all of us in this country need a win.
It may be just a raccoon but many of us feel trapped on ledge and are in need of a rescue.
All of us need a hero to save us. pic.twitter.com/yICdZ30F6e

How am I going to sleep tonight knowing that a scared, tired, hungry raccoon is stuck on the 23rd floor of a building 2000 miles away? Hang in there, sweet little trash panda #mprraccoon

My next therapy session will just be me recounting the real and intense emotions I am feeling about a raccoon I've never met. For an HOUR. #mprraccoon

Me at 1am: stress eating cheese, refreshing Twitter every 30 seconds and watching live footage of a raccoon climbing a building in the dark #mprraccoon pic.twitter.com/GQiTtnnlrK
And finally it is safe. Prayers worked!
The raccoon is safe.
