Ever felt like ripping your ex's head off? Well now you can. Sorta.
For just $5, the San Antonio Zoo will name a cockroach after your former significant other and feed it to a bird, reptile or mammal. It's part of the zoo's "Cry Me a Cockroach" event on Valentine's Day. And if your ex-boo was an especially snaky one, pay $20 more to have zoo keepers feed a frozen rat to a reptile instead.
For those not into critters, the zoo offers a $5 herbivore option that consists of romaine lettuce, cabbage and other leafy greens that can be fed to vegetarian animals.
The best part of the deal? You don't have to be at the zoo to watch your ex-turned-pest get eaten up. San Antonio Zoo plans to stream the feedings on Facebook Live. You'll even receive a certificate to share on social media. If you're feeling brave enough, post it and tag that unlucky someone.
Jilted lovers have until Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. ET to register on the zoo's website. Only first names will be displayed during the event. The money raised from the "Cry Me A Cockroach" event will go towards expanding the zoo's jaguar habitat with a connected overhead catwalk.

Mine is no longer alive as mate found from search and I finally could stop looking over my shoulder in fear, but otherwise i might have done it
I know it's mean and I'm not usually vengeful .. but he was a special and very dangerous case
I know we all appreciate your posts OC, and would enjoy seeing more of you .. if you can see fit
I'm glad I don't have an ex.
I wish I could say that, although he can no longer scare me
It's best to choose well and never have one
I hold no grudges against former boyfriends and vice versa.
That's always situational. I have had relationships where we remained very good friends even to today
With this past hubby, I'm lucky to still be alive .. a gone-wonky psychologist (sigh) once working for head office IBM yet
My tough Hubby helped by putting the fear of a fate worse than death into him
I dated one or two psychos in my drinking days.

:ohmy:
It worked. I never heard from him again .. seems he took Hubby seriously .. as cowards who attack women usually do fear males who mean business

I strongly oppose violence, or threats of violence..
But, in your situation, it seems justified.
There are people in our world for whom it takes fear of personal harm to stop these cruel bullies from harming those weaker than themselves
Bullies are always terrified of harm to themselves .. so as long as "they believe" harm will happen to them if they hurt someone, it's a 100% deterrent.
It was good that he did not have to act .. whereas without the threat he would have .. It sure was nice to be able to go out alone and not worry about being found and harmed again again again
I'm guessin your hubby would not allow anyone to harm you, however persistent the wannabe harmer was :wink:
There are people that don't like me, but I don't know anyone that wants to cause me harm.
That's good. Most people can say that, but by no means everyone can.
There was a time in my life where I could not say that .. I can now.
There are many who live in fear of real harm every day, and knowing how bad it is to be in that spot .. I feel for them

I couldn't imagine what it's like to have someone like that pursuing you..
I'm glad you no longer have to live in fear.
Thinking off exes can be depressing so no thanks.

In this case, ignorance is bliss. We are all better off if we do not know but there are crazy people out there. Just be careful.
Fash, I'm sure there are people who don't like me also but what do I say about them? They can fuck off. :thumbup:

I know a woman who has an ex like your ex. She moved to Calgary from Toronto to get away from his psycho ass.

I can relate to that but not the drinking days part. So good to no longer be in the nightmare of those past ones. Actually for me, more than two. I cannot stand a person who gets bent out of shape because you just don't feel the same for them as they do for you. Sheesh. One said, "Can I see you again?" I said, "No." Well, I had to be honest. After that, man, the dagger eyes every time I'd bump into him. One said, "How come I never hear from you?" That was a hint. Sheesh.
Some exes I remain friends with too but it's not like we have coffee every week. It's not like that at all.

Jesus H kid, I didn't know it was that bad. I remember you posting your former old man was a prick, but you never revealed any details.
I had to beat the shit out of my older sister's ex old man. He was stalking her and the kids after they split, vandalizing her car, harrassing phone calls, death threats and more. That was about twenty years ago now. I was living in Abu Dhabi at the time. When I heard what was going on, I flew back to make sure it never happened again. And the coward never bothered my sister again.

I was lucky to hook up with my now mate of 30 years.
He is a great "problem solver". Put the fear into this rat so strongly, that he never had to actually lay a hand on him

Sounds like your old man is a thinker. Old Herman let's his fists do the thinking. That, and barrel wash.
Well, the rat was such a coward that he disappeared immediately. I'm certain that he would have done the necessary if it had been needed
Main thing I no longer was afraid. I kinda expected fear alone would do the job for that coward

No gal should have to deal with that. It's good you had a sharp husband instead of a lunkhead bother like me. If I was your bother, I would made a quadripalegic out of the prick.
That was pretty much what he told the rat would happen if we ever heard from him again
You see, he caught the guy on the phone (quietly took it from me and listened a bit) and we never heard from him again
Had it been fact to face and not 2000 miles away at that moment in time, the end result for him might have been a lot worse ... although we were told by others that he often said that lived in fear of "that brute I married" .. as mate made it clear he hadn't decided not to pursue it further :wink:
The fear left me immediately as I knew he was a coward with regard to strong willed males

They all are kid.
Yes, they all are.
Hating on your Ex is a cliche.
I never understood people who try to hang onto a bad relationship with teeth and nails.
The break-up/divorce just has to be nasty because two grown-ups just cant be civil.

But, sometimes one of the people in the relationship has mental health issues.
