The outrage is huge: a principal from Upper Austria had material from the animal rights organization PETA distributed to children. These activists are known for their fierce campaigns and consider hunters and farmers to be murderers. The teacher's action caused a strong reaction - right up to the top echelons of politics.

The uproar among farmers, hunters and parents is enormous: the head teacher of the Ohlsdorf elementary school had flyers and stickers from the animal rights organization PETA distributed. The activists refer to puppies as animal children, while they see hunters and farmers as murderers.
