§ 11-28-103 — Constructing of unlawful wire fence; liability and penalty; reconstruction required; penalty for failure

(a) Any person who constructs or maintains any unlawful
wire fence contrary to this chapter, is liable in a civil action
for all damages to animals that may occur by reason of the
unlawful enclosure. The owner of any unlawful wire fence is
guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than five
dollars ($5.00) nor more than twenty-five dollars ($25.00), and
for each subsequent offense the fine shall not be less than
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) nor more than one hundred dollars
($100.00).
(b) The owner of any unlawful wire fence shall, within
thirty (30) days after conviction, reconstruct the wire fence
into a lawful wire fence. If he fails or refuses to do so, the
owner is guilty of a separate offense and on conviction thereof,
shall be punished as provided in subsection (a) of this section.
Each period of thirty (30) days thereafter that the owner
refuses or neglects to reconstruct the unlawful fence is a
separate offense and the owner is subject to like punishment.
