The tiny pistol shrimp has no vocal cords, but it's the world's loudest animal, snapping its claws at over 200 decibels louder than a rocket! Snap! India has over 280 million cattle, more than any other country in the world, but in most areas it is forbidden to kill or eat them! Towns in the United Kingdom use a special pink light, which highlights acne and blemishes, to deter teens from loitering in public areas!

In the India cattle one, replace the word “but” with “because”.
If a shrimp snaps it’s claws under water and there’s nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?
If you want teens to stop loitering in problem areas, give them more proper areas in which to hang out.
