For just $5 you can name a cockroach after your ex and watch it get eaten by an animal this Valentine's Day.

Back by popular demand, the San Antonio Zoo's "Cry Me a Cockroach!" fundraiser event is the best remedy for heartbreak. 

Editor's Choice: Tickets For San Antonio's New Drive-Thru Zoo Are Already Selling Out

If your ex was a snake, you can name a pre-frozen rat after them, and we will feed it to a reptile for $25! San Antonio Zoo

If you're feeling down this V-day, you can symbolically name a cockroach after your ex and watch the Zoo feed it to one of their animals. 

Birds, reptiles and mammals all have a seat at the table for this feast and the main course is a disgusting insect named after your least favorite person. 

If a cockroach just doesn't do your ex justice, the Zoo can feed a pre-frozen rat to a snake or other reptile for $25. 

And, if your ex isn't the only one that's been getting on your nerves, the Zoo also offers a "herbivore option" for $5 that will be fed to their vegetarian animals. 

These can symbolically represent anyone from an annoying roommate to the people you're sick of being stuck in quarantine with. 

The best part? You get to watch your "ex" be devoured on a live feed.

On Valentine's Day, the San Antonio Zoo will broadcast the feeding frenzy on their Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
