KENT (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): What is the best way to feel better after a painful break-up? For administrators in one zoo in Kent, United Kingdom, naming a cockroach after one’s ex can be a way to get even.

Hemsley Conservation Center (HCC) is running a campaign for Valentine’s Day that will help people feel better after a bad relationship. For a price of £1.50 (about RM8), one can name a cockroach after an ex’s first name, complete with a certificate.
