Poland Zoo Offers Ex-Naming Cockroach Revenge
A zoo in Poland is letting people name a cockroach after their ex and then feed it to a meerkat.

You can pay different amounts to get a certificate, a photo, or even feed the cockroach yourself.
The zoo says this helps protect endangered animals.
People on social media are laughing and sharing their own funny ideas.
This offer is good until the end of February 2026.
Another zoo in the US has a similar idea where you can name a cockroach, rat, or veggie after an ex.
