AC/DC classics like "Thunderstruck" and "Back in Black" are being used to scare away wolves on farms in the United States.
Using drones with attached loudspeakers playing these songs by the Australian band was the strategy employed by farmers and researchers to protect their herds, due to the increase in wolf attacks, which has been on the rise in the United States.
According to experts [via Independent UK ], the tactic has had an immediate effect in dispersing the animals and preventing losses. Although the return of wolf species has led to multiple beneficial ecological changes, it has also recently resulted in the deaths of dozens of cattle and other animals in several states.
In addition, audio clips from the iconic scene in the film "Marriage Story," featuring the voices of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, also proved effective.
After drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin area of southwestern Oregon, wolf attacks dropped from about one every two nights to less than one per month.
Dr. Dustin Ranglack, leader of Project Predator, said in an interview with Jefferson Public Radio :
"We were able to effectively drive wolves away from livestock, and in one case, even prevent an ongoing attack."
