The weirdest ways some exes got revenge on Valentines Day

The weirdest ways some exes got revenge on Valentines DayThe weirdest ways some exes got revenge on Valentines DayHas your ex done you wrong?Its a dog-eat-dog world out there, and people can be nasty as they cut ties. Maybe a breakup from a few years ago still stings, or perhaps you were one of the unlucky individualswho had their hearts crushed just moments before Valentines Day. Either way, alls fair in love and war, and leidhing says Im over you quite like plotting an elaborate revenge scheme against your ex.Plus, theres good news As the most romantic holiday of the year fast approaches, wildlife everywhere is here to help in your quest to get even. Here are some of the weirdest ways animals can be the Robin to your Batman this V-day as you right all the wrongs from your dating history.Name a cockroachIt is a universally acknowledged fact that cockroaches are the most disgusting creatures on Earth. Their antennae alone make them creepy crawlers, and that crunch they make - *shudd ers.*Well, for only $15, the Bronx Zoo will name a Madagascar hissing cockroach after whomever you like and email you a certificate on Feb. 13 as proof. Your exs legacy can be a cockroach named Jake, because why not?But whats that I hear? Thats not far enough? Dont worry, there are more cockroaches ahead.Kill a cockroachMaybe youre just not all that grossed out by cockroaches. Or maybe you want your ex to squirm in the fourth circle of hell for a little while, and a simple name game isnt enough to quench your rage.Either way, the El Paso Zoo has got you. For a few days in February, all you had to do was message your exs name to the zoo, and they would name a cockroach after that awful excuse for a human being. Now, theyre about to start posting names of exes on social media (first name and last initial) leading up to the big primetime moment.At 215 p.m. on Valentines Day, the zoo will live stream meerkats eating said cockroaches on Facebook Live and its meerkat webcam. Additional fe edings to other animals are forthcoming. If you didnt get your entry in on time, at least youll be able to bask in the glory of someone elses sweet, sweet revenge as you watch Jim get taken down by a member of the mongoose family.Name a snake after your exSo admittedly, snakes are kind of cool. But theyre also creepy. Theres a reason so many Disney villains seem to be surrounded by snakes all the time.And this Valentines, the Wild Life Sydney Zoo in Sydney, Australia, is giving one (un)lucky lover the chance to name a venomous brown snake after their ex.The entry process includes a 25-word summary of why your ex deserves such a fate, as well as a $1 donation to the Wild Life Conservation Fund.But lets be real, guys Its probably best to just let go of the past and hope for better treatment in future relationships. No? Not gonna work for you? Well then, these options are the best revenge the Internet can provide, so knock yourselves out.
