As Valentine’s Day approaches, the San Antonio Zoo turns heartbreak into a wild spectacle with the return of its unconventional fundraiser, Cry Me a Cockroach.

For just $10, participants can symbolically name a cockroach after their ex and witness it being fed to one of the zoo’s eager animals.

Expanding on the concept, the zoo also offers the option to name a rat for $25 or veggie for $5 in honour of past relationships.

This offbeat celebration doesn’t stop at critter-naming; the zoo is introducing a unique olfactory experience with a $15 “Hippo Poop” scented candle.

To partake in this amusing ritual, interested participants must submit their exes’ names online before Valentine’s Day, creating a quirky and cathartic experience for those looking to bid adieu to former flames in a lighthearted manner.

The Cry Me a Cockroach fundraiser not only adds a touch of humour to Valentine’s Day but also serves as a creative way for the San Antonio Zoo to generate funds for conservation initiatives and animal welfare programs.

The zoo encourages patrons to embrace the laughter-inducing event and contribute to a cause that transcends the conventional realm of Valentine’s Day festivities.

Zoo representatives expressed enthusiasm for the fundraiser’s return, highlighting its ability to blend entertainment with a charitable cause.

The event allows individuals to playfully deal with past relationships and contributes to the zoo’s ongoing commitment to wildlife preservation.
