Logician: It’s a Machlokes by Issurei Hana’ah that comes from the Gemara about giving a dog N’veilah. But this is probably better because it’s not really your Issurei Hana’ah that you’re giving to a B’ehimah Shel Hefker. The reason for not feeding the B’heimah Shel Hefker Issurei Hana’ah is that the animal will like you. That’s just not true in a petting zoo. The animal won’t recognize you more than the tens of thousands of others who feed it. Also, I did combine the fact that there’s also a Machlokes by whether N’veilah B’chalav is Assur B’hana’ah.
