Message:


A herd of cows continually breaks down fences of a chemical plant ponding 
area and drinks calcium chloride in concentrations from 30-40 percent. The 
calcium chloride is made mixing hydrated lime and weak HCl and water then 
sent to the ponds. What other dangers would cows suffer from the lime or 
the acid?
