This Valentine's Day, several zoos are offering unique and humorous ways to get back at your ex. For a donation, you can symbolically name a cockroach, rodent, or even a pound of poop after your former flame and have it fed to a zoo animal. The zoos assure that this is a fun way to turn heartbreak into laughter while supporting animal care and conservation.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching on Feb. 14. For many, it’s a day to express love and caring for a partner. For others, it’s a day to stew over relationships that didn’t work out. If you’re in the latter category, then you might enjoy finding a way to insult your ex while also supporting a zoo.
Many zoos offer love-themed programs for Valentine’s Day. My local aquarium, for example, hosts a “That’s A Moray!” sea-themed event for adults on the romantic rituals of aquatic animals. That might be too sappy for some, especially anyone dealing with a recent heartbreak. So how about “Doo Some Good” or “Cry Me a Cockroach” instead?fundraiser is for adults 18 and over. You can choose from veggies , a cockroach or a rodent and have it symbolically named for your ex and fed to a zoo resident.
The Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois has plenty of Madagascar hissing cockroaches. These jumbo roaches are known for their defensive hissing sounds. The zoo willafter your ex for a $15 donation. Look for the zoo’s unveiling of a naming board on Valentine’s Day sharing the first names of all the honorees. Cockroaches can be for happy people, too. The zoo lets you choose to name the roach after someone special or someone not-so-special.
The zoo partners with a third-party to compost the copious amounts of waste generated by its animals. Talk about putting the “ex” in “excrement.”. The Columbus Zoo in Powell, Ohio will feed the worms to its resident bug-eating sloth bears, Randhir and Heiderose. “Not only will you get a good laugh, but you’ll also be supporting world-class animal care and vital conservation efforts,” the zoo said. The zoo will make a special Valentine’s Day video of the bears chowing down on the beetle larvae.
These naming opportunities are a way to turn heartbreak into humor. It may even be cathartic to send your former flame’s name down the gullet of a hungry animal. That’s more productive than just deleting your sappy text history.
