(a) In any fencing district or no-fence district created, whether under a special act or the general laws of the State of Arkansas, where any such district shall be adjoined either before or after the construction of its boundary fence by any other fencing or no-fence district in the same or any other county, if a boundary fence shall have been constructed along such portion of the district's boundary prior to the organization of the other district, the commissioner or directors of the district shall have the right to tear down and remove the fence at all points where it shall be adjacent or contiguous to the other district and may dispose of the materials in the fence as, in their judgment, they may deem to be the best interest of the district.
(b) The penalties provided for allowing animals to run at large and the remedies offered for depredation of such animals and any and all other provisions of fencing districts or no-fence districts laws shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be deemed to be in any manner abrogated or nullified by reason of the fact that there may be no fence along the line between any two (2) fencing or no-fence districts.
