\n\tIn order to protect cattle herds, U.S. government wanted to scare off predatory wolves and show them that \u201chumans are bad.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSo they used the most terrifying audio imaginable: A married couple fighting. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, the United States Department of Agriculture is using a recording of Scarlett Johansson<\/a> and Adam Driver<\/a> screaming at each other in Marriage Story<\/a> to frighten wolves across the American West. In the 2019 Noah Baumbach film, the duo play a couple going through a bitter divorce. The film includes a particularly raw argument scene (video below), which is presumably the one being used. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe USDA is reportedly using drones with speakers blasting the scene (along with other recordings such as AC\/DC\u2019s \u201cThunderstruck,\u201d fireworks and gunshots). <\/p>\n

\n\tRage the characters in the film: \u201cYou\u2019ll never be happy!\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re back to being a hack!\u201d \u201cYou gaslighted me!\u201d \u201cLife with you is joyless!\u201d \u201cYou hated me!\u201d \u201cEvery day I wake up and hope you\u2019re dead!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tExplained a USDA district supervisor in Oregon: \u201cI need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe story noted that the wolf population has increased since they were reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and that using a howling Johansson and Driver (among other recordings) has seemed to be effective in reducing the number of killed cows. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In order to protect cattle herds, U.S. government wanted to scare off predatory wolves and show them that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[31979,49,48,361,75,31980,31981],"class_list":["post-45531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-adam-driver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-marriage-story","tag-scarlett-johansson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
