This zoo will name a cockroach after your ex, then feed it to a meerkat on Valentine's Day

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.

You can message the zoo on Facebook 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. 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."

"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. "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!"

Thank God that divorcees aren't a protected or political group or we'd never hear the end of this.

I didn't love her anymore, and I don't even like her anymore, but I don't hate her. I'm just glad she's gone from my life. I have no regrets and no need to "get even" or to try and publicly humiliate her. If you feel a need to do this, you should get some help to get over your anger and hurt. Or maybe there's a good reason she left you.

They have refused to name one Nancy Palosi when I called.
