The Pine Road bear captured in Brookline

Once the bear was on the ground, officials gave it a second tranquilizer shot before it was placed in 480 pounds of ice shavings picked up from Brookline Ice and Coal. When a bear is tranquilized, its body temperature rises and that may endanger the animal’s health, said Reggie Zimmerman, spokesman for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
