Christina Valdivia, general manager of the company that manages the building, said that "the animal was likely drawn to the tower’s loading dock to feast on pigeon eggs when it got spooked. That’s when its 'fight or flight' instinct kicked in, and the natural reaction was to start climbing."
The raccoon spent much of Tuesday perched on a narrow ledge of the building, hunkering down between the 20th and 22nd floors where it apparently stopped for a nap. Late Tuesday night, the raccoon was on the move again, dropping down to the 17th floor. It resumed its upward climb in the middle of the night.
On Wednesday the raccoon finally made it to the roof of the building, where it was taken by animal rescuers and released back into a more suitable habitat.
“We were all impressed by its ability to keep climbing,” said St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. “We were all nervous and scared. Glad we got a happy ending.”
in this world we all lose our way sometimes. we struggle. we press on. we get tired. we rest. then we struggle some more and press on... until we're rescued.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
