A zoo has captured the attention and curiosity of visitors by offering them an unusual and entertaining way to deal with their past relationships.
By allowing guests to name cockroaches after their exes and subsequently feeding them to the zoo's animals, the facility has left people fascinated to participate in this unique form of entertainment.
Visitors allowed to name a cockroach after their ex and feed it to other animals
Recently, a zoo in the US called San Antonio attracted attention when it launched a creative fundraising campaign for visitors to resolve problems with their exes.
According to the zoo, visitors will donate a small amount of money to them, and in return, they will get to choose a cockroach then name it after their ex, and feed it to the other animals.
This is considered a unique recreational activity to solve their past with their exes and also could help the zoo stay active.
Visitors donate from $5 to $25 to take part in the project
The San Antonio Zoo's website calls on individuals to participate in a unique project called Cry Me a Cockroach to 'destroy' their past.
"If you want to erase your past, symbolically name a cockroach after your ex. We at the San Antonio Zoo will help you heal all your pain," according to one post. Posted by San Antonio.
Previously, this fundraiser also received global attention last year thanks to its novel and attractive method. However, this year's campaign is expected to have even more impact.
According to a zoo spokesperson, visitors can choose to donate between $5 and $25 to the zoo in exchange for a cockroach named after their ex.
The fundraising project "Cry Me a Cockroach" was first launched in 2020 and has become famous since then for being the place to 'destroy' the ex-lover of many tourists around the world.
Common names given to cockroaches
According to the zoo's report, in 2022, San Antonio successfully called for more than 8,000 donations thanks to the creativity and uniqueness of their campaign.
Additionally, Jacob and Sarah were the two most popular names given to cockroaches at the San Antonia Zoo in 2022. In 2023, Matts, Ashley, and Jessicas were the more popular names.
In addition to choosing the names of exes, some curious visitors also question whether they can take the names of other individuals, such as the name of a boss or manager.
