The premise is simple and awesome: they’ll name a cockroach after your ex and then feed it to wild animals. Yay!
The El Paso Zoo got a lot of coverage last year for their “Quit Bugging Me” Valentine’s event, meant to send the memory of your worst ex to some Voodoo purgatory. This February, they’re including animals from all over the zoo such as meerkats, primates, birds, and small mammals who will get to chow down on your ex-cockroach.
Yes, the Lower Mainland is a long way from the famed Texas town, but the name submission form will be opening soon on the zoo’s website. (All names must be submitted via the online forum, no names submitted by other methods will be accepted). All names submitted will be displayed anonymously and only first names will be displayed.
There’s no fee but the zoo won’t turn down your donation, which will be used to further their mission statement. Come on, it’s worth at least a LITTLE $ to see him/her crunched on by a crazed meerkat…
