USDA using argument scene from “Marriage Story” to horrify wolves

by

The USDA is employing a scene with tense dialogue between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, taken from the movie “Marriage Story” by Noah Baumbach (2019), as a deterrent to keep wolves from approaching livestock.

During a 20-day span in Oregon, wild animals were responsible for the deaths of 11 cows. In response, the USDA began using quadcopters equipped with thermal cameras to identify wolves even in the dark. When these drones locate predators, they use a spotlight to illuminate them and play loud, frightening sounds through speakers to drive them off.

As a cinema enthusiast speaking for myself, I’d rephrase it like this: “I want wolves to realize and understand that humans aren’t always good,” said Paul Wolf, a USDA district supervisor, to the Wall Street Journal.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) employs loud noises such as fireworks and gunshots to keep wild animals at bay. After implementing “wolf hazing” in Oregon, only two cows were killed over an 85-day period, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The USDA chose not to respond to questions posed by The Times.

The USDA uses loud noises like fireworks and gunshots to scare away wild animals. In Oregon, where they started a practice called “wolf hazing,” only two cows were killed in 85 days, as per the WSJ. However, the USDA didn’t answer questions from The Times.

In this particular setting, Nicole (Johansson) and Charlie (Driver) engage in a series of sharp words or comments. The movie “Marriage Story” narrates the tale of a pair who are divorcing and contesting over the guardianship of their kid.

In 2019, Netflix premiered a movie penned and helmed by Baumbach. This film garnered six Oscar nods, with the prestigious Best Picture category among them. Moreover, Johansson and Driver received recognition for their acting roles as well.
