Spay & Neuter Programs Need State Support And Reporters Discuss A Statewide Camping Ban, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, it is estimated that the state had more than 118,000 stray cats. Many advocates say spaying and neutering pets is key to reducing pet overpopulation. But spay and neuter procedures can be costly, which is why the state has stepped in to help finance them. Jack Walker reports that lawmakers are looking to strengthen spay and neuter access once again.

And at the end of each week during the legislative session, our reporters get together to discuss some of the major issues they covered on The Legislature Today. We often invite a reporter from a different news organization to join us to get a different perspective and as last week wound to a close, host Curtis Tate welcomed health reporter Emily Rice and reporter Lori Kersey from West Virginia Watch.

West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, which is solely responsible for its content.
