As per the report, a loudspeaker, mounted on a drone, 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,” as per the publication.
Quoting a USDA official in Oregon, the publication reported that the move was aimed at making wolves believe that “humans are bad”.
Reportedly, the practice, called “Wolf hazing,” improved the situation significantly as the number of killed cows dropped in Oregon.
“Drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin of southern Oregon after 11 cows were killed by wolves there in a 20-day period. Over the next 85 days when drones were on patrol, only two were killed,” as per the WSJ.
It is worth noting here that ‘Marriage Story’ sees Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, a couple who are going through a bitter divorce and fighting for the custody of their son.
