Silent Fox

The Silent Fox is a popular show of hands of educators and group leaders to make a group of people to be quiet and listen.
Usage
If the noise level increases within a group over a certain level, the group leader raises his hand and shows the silent fox. Therefore he raises Index finger and Little finger to imitate the ears of a fox and tuches his Thumb with Middle finger and Ring finger to imitate the closed mouth of a fox. The Silente Fox points his ears up and shuts his mouth. Its about to stimulate the group to do the same - to listen with the ears and no longer speak.
The difficult part of a group leader is to teach to the Silent Fox to the group as a serious symbole for quietnes.
Difficulty
The hand signal of the Silent Fox corresponds to the detection of the "Grey Wolves", a far-right grouping hostile Kurds in Turkey.
The Silence Fox should not be used from educators and group leaders in groups where persons are of Kurdish descent.
