Ordinary Gweilo

I think this is supposed to be a serious story about the problem of batteries being dumped on or near farms. However, I was intrigued to learn that:

One problem is that cows seem to like the taste of the electrolyte solution that reacts with batteries’ lead plates to form lead sulphate. The animals probably break open undamaged batteries given the chance, according to the vets.

It conjures up a weird image of cows struggling to break open batteries in order to get a drink. Scary.
