San Antonio zoo lets visitors name cockroaches & rats after their exes to feed animals

You can do it for free in your mind and they can't stop you.

"Fundraisers hate this one trick"

Rats can be expensive! They go for around $2-5 each, and it adds up really fast when you've got a lot of carnivores to feed.

You’d think New York would be raking in some side monies.

You dont wanna feed those things to animals you like! 😅

I have a co-worker or two that I would consider this service for.

I guess I'm the only one thinking that it's fucking disturbing.

I think that means you've been fortunate enough not to feel the need to turn a piece of fruit, bug, or rat into a cathartic feeling of peace or closure. The animal, fruit, or veggie would be given to the zoo creature anyways, and this raises funds to help conservation.

I'll happily name a carrot after my ex and watch it be fed to a giraffe.
