For $5, the San Antonio Zoo will help you get over your ex

Transcript1

As part of an annual fundraiser, the zoo will name a cockroach2 after your ex and feed it to an animal. For a $150 upgrade, the zoo will send your ex a video of their namesake being devoured3.

A MART?NEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. Looking for some closure from your last relationship? Well, how's this? For five bucks4, the San Antonio Zoo will name a roach after your ex and feed it to an animal. For 150 bucks, the zoo will even send your ex a personalized video of their namesake being devoured. It's not just ghoulish payback. It's part of an annual fundraiser to save Texas wildlife, and the zoo is taking donations until Valentine's Day.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "YOU OUGHTA KNOW")

ALANIS MORISSETTE: (Singing) ...Of the mess you left when you went away.

MART?NEZ: It's MORNING EDITION.
