Hello,
Is it permissible to feed animals food that is fit for human consumption for enjoyment, or is it considered 'bal tashchit', such as feeding animals in a petting zoo food that is fit for humans for your enjoyment?
Thank you very much.

Hello
It is forbidden to feed animals food that is fit for human consumption.
