- The San Antonio zoo annual fundraiser lets you name cockroaches, rodents, or plants after exes.
- The roaches, rodents, and veggies are then fed to the zoo's animals — and you can watch.
- The not-so-special people can also get a card letting them know the animal food was named after them.
A Texas zoo lets you name a cockroach, rodent, or plant after your "difficult" boss or ex that did you wrong — and then witness it fed to animals.
The San Antonio Zoo will host its annual Cry Me a Cockroach Fundraiser on Valentine's Day. The fundraiser will be used to "support the zoo's vision of securing a future for wildlife in Texas and around the world!"
The opportunity to donate and name a critter or plant after your ex is open between now and Valentine's day.
A donation of $5 will get a veggie named after an ex, $10 will get a cockroach named after their not-so-special someone, and a $25 donation will get a rodent.

As part of their donations, participants will also get a digital Valentine's Day card and an optional card sent to their ex-partner that says they had named a cockroach, rodent, or veggie after them and had fed to an animal at the zoo.
The zoo is also offering a $150 upgrade for anyone whose ex-partner, boss, or bestie really made 2022 "difficult," to create a personalized video of the rodent, veggie, or cockroach being fed to an animal. The zoo has limited this upgrade to the first 20 purchases.
According to the zoo, the most popular names last year were Jacob and Sarah.
