Still Angry at Your Ex? The San Antonio Zoo Will Name a Cockroach After Them & Feed it To Animals

Valentine’s Day: For some, it’s all roses and heart-shaped chocolates, while for others, it might just be another day to grind through before the weekend. TGIF, right?

But let’s face it, not everyone is feeling the love today. Some are still recovering from a breakup, with a lingering sense of bitterness and resentment towards that ex who wronged them.

If you’re among those still holding onto some old wounds, The San Antonio Zoo has a quirky (and hilarious) way to help you channel that frustration!

Enter the zoo’s annual “Cry Me a Cockroach” fundraiser.

Instead of wallowing in sadness or sending that passive-aggressive text (which we all know is a terrible idea), why not put that anger to good use? For just $10, you can name a cockroach after your ex, and that little critter will then become a snack for one of the zoo’s hungry residents.

If you're feeling extra feisty, you can even name a rodent ($25) or a veggie ($5) to honor that former flame. And here’s the best part: you’ll get a downloadable Valentine’s Day card and a video of your named creature getting devoured. It's like the ultimate revenge fantasy — with a wholesome twist!

Those who opt for this will receieve a downloadable Valentine's Day card along with a video of their named treat getting absolutely devoured by one of the zoo's animals.

The San Antonio Zoo isn’t just about feeding animals though. They’re also embracing their self-proclaimed title as the "Valentine’s Day Capital of the World."

If naming and feeding cockroaches isn’t your thing, don’t worry — the zoo has more in store! From romantic celebrations to anti-Valentine’s Day festivities, there’s something for everyone. You can even grab a poop-scented candle to set the mood for your night of rebellion or sign up for their cheeky "Meet Your Next Ex" dating event.

So, what do you think?

Would you be up for celebrating Valentine’s Day by sending your ex’s name straight into the mouths of hungry animals? Maybe this is the cathartic closure you never knew you needed. Or maybe it's just a hilarious way to end a bad breakup with some style.

Here’s hoping your Valentine’s Day is filled with laughter — and maybe a little less drama.
