Does it have to be an “ex”, and could it be a group of people, such as (ohhh… just off the top of my head) the entire GOP Congress?

It’s like on one hand this seems like a pretty silly and harmless way to vent dislike for a person. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to be the one doing the feeding. Who knows what I’d be participating in.

I guess I’m the only one who thinks this is cruel and in bad taste?
During our animal welfare audit by American Humane the treatment of all the animals in our care including feeders such as cockroaches mealworms, crickets and more were inspected. We proudly became Humane Certified by American Humane in 2017.

I don’t see anything especially cruel about someone getting some catharsis from remotely feeding a roach named after a former abuser to some snake. But go ahead and keep assuming you know people’s lives and motivations, and judging folks you’ve never met for doing something that hurts nobody.
