The controversial idea of a mandatory spay and neuter law will be discussed again at the County's Animal Control Commission meeting.

In March, people packed another meeting to tell the commission what they thought of the proposed law.

Supervisors have asked the commission to draft an ordinance, that would require pets to be spayed or neutered.

The ordinance is intended to cut down on the number of animals in county shelters, and decrease euthanasia rates.

Opponents say the ordinance is unfair to those who want to make their own choice.

The commission must come up with the ordinance by June.
