Having a hard time moving on from the guy or girl you dated? Or maybe you've already moved on completely and hate their guts (we've all been there). My ex is pictured below and man, I can't wait to submit his name.

Well, the El Paso Zoo can help you with you with some of your emotional problems! At their "Quit Bugging Me" Valentine's event, you have the ability to name a cockroach, and then that cockroach will be fed to the zoo animals. I know, it's brilliant. And honestly, I can think of a couple ex's that need to be named!

This year your nasty ex, I mean cockroach, will be fed to meerkats, primates, birds and small mammals over the 3-day, anti-Valentine's Day promotion.

So if this sounds like something that you NEED to participate in, you don't need to be in El Paso, all you need to do is fill out this submission form below. There's no fee to do it, but of course, all donations are encouraged...

May your Valentine's Day be extra special this year!
