At the Texas Zoo, you can name a cockroach after your ex for Valentine's Day

The San Antonio Zoo in Texas is offering a special Valentine's Day activity for people who hold grudges.

For $10 (£8.08), the zoo will name a cockroach after your ex-partner and feed it to one of its animals as part of its annual Cry Me a Cockroach fundraiser.

The initiative will support the zoo's “vision to secure a future for wildlife in Texas,” according to the San Antonio Zoo's website.

Those who don't like insects can opt for a vegetable for $5 (£4.04) or a rodent for $25 (£20.19) instead. All donors will receive a digital Valentine's Day card showing their support for the zoo.

If they can think of something really petty this Valentine's Day, donors can also send their ex a digital card informing them that a cockroach, rodent or vegetable was named after them and fed to an animal.

Those who feel a particular dislike for their ex can purchase an upgrade for $150, which includes a personalized video message to the recipient showing their cockroach, rodent or vegetable being devoured.

According to CNN, the San Antonio Zoo received more than 8,000 donations last year from all 50 states and over 30 different countries.

The most popular names for the 2022 fundraiser were Jacob and Sarah.

To enter, you must submit your ex-partner's name on the zoo's website before Valentine's Day (February 14).
