Looking to get yourself a present this Valentine’s Day? The El Paso Zoo has you covered. It will name a cockroach after your ex and then feed it to a meerkat live on camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can message the zoo on Facebook<\/a> with your ex’s name, then wait patiently for February 14 to watch the roach get devoured during the “Quit Bugging Me” meerkat event, which will live-stream on Facebook and the zoo’s website<\/a>. The names of those exes will also be displayed around the meerkat exhibit and on social media starting February 11. The zoo calls it “the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”This is a fun way to get the community involved in our daily enrichment activities,” El Paso Zoo event coordinator Sarah Borrego told CBS News<\/a>. “The meerkats love to get cockroaches as a snack and what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by feeding them a cockroach named after your ex!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow. Just wow. Please follow the link and read the entire article if you choose to get involved!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
