The USDA arms the driver Adam and Scarlett Johansson, “Story wedding”, fight to scare the wolves

Noah Baumbach wanted to challenge the public with Wedding storymaking them sit in the discomfort and tension of a relationship collapse. He probably didn’t know that his audience was going to be wolves, however. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the famous combat scene between Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson of the award-winning drama of Baumbach is only a tool that the United States Department of Agriculture began to use in an effort to scare the growing wolf population (and hungry) in Yellowstone National Park.

Here is the agreement: after the opening of Yellowstone in the late 1800s, breeders near the park began to complain that the population of wolves fell to their cattle. Considered a threat to food supply and humans, the American fish and fauna service aimed to eliminate the population, and it has effectively led gray wolves in local extinction and finally found itself on the list of endangered species. From the 1920s, wolves were rarely seen in the park or its surroundings. It was, as it turns out, not great. The population of Wapitis has skyrocketed accordingly. Coyotes also prospered in their absence, which has made significant damage to the population of antelope.

Thus, in 1995, armed by decades of data and a clearly better understanding of the natural ecology of predators, an effort was finally made to reintroduce the wolves of the park. It went well, both for parks and wolves. He restored the balance of the ecosystem, and there have been incredible cascade effects, such as the first flowering of a new generation of tremors in more than 80 years and a major resurgence of beavers, which had been pushed to the edge of the park’s disappearance.

The wolves have done so well, in fact, that we are back to the starting point of this whole cycle. The breeders are again frustrated by the gray wolves making a number on their cattle. Because wolves are always considered an endangered species, farmers cannot kill them. The USDA therefore chose to use new techniques in order to scare wolves.

This includes the use of armed speakers to release noisy noises. On the playlist, according to the Wall Street Journal, is “Thunderstruck” of AC / DC, the sounds of fireworks and shots, and the aforementioned argument of Wedding story. “I need wolves to react and know that humans are bad,” said Paul Wolf, a USDA district supervisor in The Outlet.

It works … as long as wolves do not make their paws on drones. According to WSJ, drones were deployed in the south of Oregon after 11 cows were removed by wolves over a period of 20 days. Only two were killed in the next 85 with the patrol drones. But wolves were also seen playing by drones and, when drones descend, wolves tear them. Maybe they are only big fans of Adam Driver.
