Each donation includes a digital Valentine’s Day card to send to the targeted individual — which doesn’t have to be an ex, but can be anyone, from a difficult boss to a pesky neighbor. A limited number of people who upgrade to a $150 donation can also send personalized video messages to their not-so-special someone as the roach, rat or veggie meets its demise.
As of last week, Perez said, the most popular names submitted are Matt and Jessica. Last year’s were Jacob and Sarah.The zoo doesn’t have shareable numbers yet on how much money has been raised so far, Perez said.
