This is the sly form of payback so many of you have been looking for. Sure, you may have fantasized about feeding your awful ex to a pack of ravenous wild animals, but you would never actually do it. Luckily this zoo will do it for you…well kinda.
The El Paso Zoo is giving you the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. It will name a cockroach after your shitty ex and then feed it to a meerkat. And you get to watch it via live stream!
Here’s the details from the zoo:
The GLOBAL phenomenon is back! The El Paso Zoo & Botanical Gardens is ready to take those names for its annual Quit Bugging Me promotion!
Submit a name of anyone who has bugging you! An ex, boss, mother-in-law, we’ll take them all!
Being petty has never been so delightful!

Fun fact: A group of meerkats is called a “mob” or a “gang”
Another fun fact: El Paso is more or less my family’s ancestral homeland. Four generations of my people have lived there.
