The wolves need to know that humans are bad

6 Aug - Americans seem to have found a way to scare off wolves from their livestock. And that's by terrorising them with Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.

The WSJ recently published a report revealing that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been using very unorthodox methods to protect their cows and chickens, by hazing the once endangered grey wolves with fireworks, gunshots and people arguing.

"Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots, and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie Marriage Story," the report stated.

The soundbite was used to scare off grey wolves

According to Oregon USDA district supervisor Paul Wolf (no pun intended), "I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad."

The argument scene in the said Academy-winning 2019 film was previously revealed to be the most difficult scene that director Noah Baumbach ever filmed.

"They've lost their voices; they've lost a sense of who they are. They're trying to figure out what they believe anymore. And that's a dangerous place, I think, for a couple to find themselves," he said about the scene.
