On October 31, Kaitlin A. Punches of Comstock Park, Michigan, rescued a raccoon trapped in a dumpster using a baby gate she brought from her car to create a ramp. She attempted other methods first, including a metal trash can and cardboard box, but they failed. The raccoon climbed out safely and fled into nearby woods. Punches, an animal lover who frequently helps wildlife and dumpster dives for necessities, shares her rescues on TikTok and is known to building maintenance staff for her efforts.
