This zoo will let you name a cockroach after your ex to be fed to meerkats on Valentine’s Day

If this doesn’t give you closure, I’m not sure what will.

This Valentine’s Day, you can name a cockroach after your ex (I know, very fitting), and the little creature will be fed to some hungry meerkats. You can also watch the feeding go down on Feb. 14 via their live webcam.

The El Paso Zoo in Texas is offering this up as the perfect Valentine’s gift - to yourself.

Just message them your ex’s name and they’ll assign it to a cockroach that will be consumed by one of their adorable meerkats. The zoo will be displaying the names on their social media channels and on their meerkat exhibit starting on Feb. 11.

You can watch the feeding event, which their calling Quit Bugging Me, live on Feb 14 at 2:15 p.m. on their Facebook or on their meerkat webcam.

How romantic!
