Aww... 😢
Very weird that they sent cops instead of animal control. Maybe it's because she called 911? And I'm going to guess that they shot him because they probably didn't have the proper equipment to capture/move him. How sad...
At my old job, we had a raccoon stuck in our dumpster. My coworker actually called animal control, though. They were like, "Just open the dumpster, he'll jump out." And she's like, "Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of!" So they came out and got him out of there.
