Meerkat Love

A Zoo in Texas is offering the ultimate in feel-good for Valentine’s Day.

The El Paso Zoo is not only giving men and women the chance to name their ex’s after cockroaches, they’ll even feed them to Meerkats on the special day.  The cockroach-- not the ex, that is.  So if you had a particularly horrid ex, or a boyfriend who ghosted you, this is your chance to get them back a little.

Staff will live stream the event on Facebook and the zoo’s website, and the names of the exes will be shown around the meerkat exhibit on social media for everyone to see.

El Paso Zoo event coordinator Sarah Borrego told reporters,  "The meerkats love to get cockroaches as a snack and what better way to celebrate Valentine’ Day than by feeding them a cockroach named after your ex!"

And they're not the only ones to catch the Valentine's Day bug.  The Hemsley Conservation Centre in Kent, England, will name a cockroach after your ex in exchange for a donation.  Australia’s Wild Life Sydney has done one better – they’re offering to name your ex after a snake.
