Priderock Wildlife Refuge is helping people “celebrate” being alone on Valentine’s Day with the help of their big cats. The “big cats will help you unleash some wild emotion.” Donate a small fee to name a slab of meat after your ex and let the tigers enjoy devouring the steak. It’s a fun, symbolic way to say goodbye to the past, all while doing a little good.
