Next week, millions around the world will celebrate Valentine's Day and all of our social media feeds will turn saccharine and pink.
While many will pamper themselves and pamper themselves with gestures of love, there are those who are still trying to overcome a difficult breakup or just have a hard time letting go of an ex or an ex-girlfriend, and it turns out that even they have an outlet to vent their feelings, but be warned in advance - this is a rather repulsive gesture.
The Zoo in San Antonio in the US text has roped in the heartbroken and offers them to join their annual fundraising event called Cry Me a Cockroach.
As part of this unique charity fundraising event, you can purchase a cockroach, rat, or vegetable for $5, $10, or $25, name it after the ex who broke your heart, and receive a promise that zoo employees will make sure to feed the animals instead of your unique order on the day Sweet and full of love.

Your ex will be crushed (even if only symbolically) and you for your part will win a feeling of satisfaction (or maybe disgust if you guessed a phobia of cockroaches and rats) and a digital certificate documenting and thanking you for your contribution.
The fine print: in case a comeback in love precedes the event, the zoo emphasizes that the donation is non-refundable and that it will be used to ensure the future of the animals there.
