SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Feeling the sting of rejection? Itching to get even with an ex? The San Francisco Zoo is offering the burned and spurned masses the chance to "adopt" a hissing cockroach or giant scorpion in honor of their special ex-someone for Valentine's Day.The zoo is highlighting two of its less-desirable inhabitants through the adopt-an-animal program that is usually used to raise money for the care of more cuddly or attractive creatures, such as penguins, lions and pandas. It has a Valentine's special comparing the creepy characteristics of Madagascar hissing cockroaches and the giant hairy scorpions native to the Southwest U.S. to the ways of heart-breaking mammals with two legs."These invertebrates are aggressive, active, and alarmingly nocturnal. Much like your low-life ex, they are usually found in and around low-elevation valleys where they dig elaborate burrows or 'caves,' " the zoo says on its promotion page for the desert scorpion. "Also just like you-know-who, when a suitable victim wanders by, the scorpion grabs the doomed creature with its pinchers and stings the prey ... Charming."For $50 and up, donors can adopt a scorpion and have the zoo send a certificate and stuffed stinger to the person who inspired the adoption. The cockroach valentine that the zoo says represents "the detritus of your love life" costs $25.LINK 4951

@TheTruthHurts: Seems to be a pretty broad statement.
Because I really hate people who abuse animals, children and spouses.Guess I am small minded.

@FoFa:
 
Nope. Real hate translates into action of some form. Revenge for instance, in a way that is carried out. What you have is Emotional passion and concern for animals. When they are harmed, your "hate" is just an emotional response to your passion, contempt. You don't actually go out and willingly harm anyone.
 
I just read this about the genocide of the Jews in respect to hate: from historian Bernard Lewis:
 
"From contempt you don't die, from hate you do."In all honesty, everyone is someones's ex. There are more reasons for failed relationships than grains of sand on the sea shore. It hurts. It stings but there is no reason for hate unless you have been violated physically or some other extreme and even then balanced people don't do anything except move on. 4951
