The MD renn fest had an elephant.
There was a divide between the folks who thought “ohhhh it fine” and the rest of us who thought “elephants don’t live in Maryland and definitely don’t give rides to screaming children, willingly”
The MD renn fest elephant was also used as Trump advertising at other events, which did NOT help the communities view here in MD.
There was a noticeable boycott until they stopped abusing the elephants at the MD renn fest.
