Question

I raise monkeys and have specifically planted an orchard with several types of fruits from different varieties to feed them. They are theoretically suitable for human consumption, but over the years they are used only for feeding the monkeys.

Answer

There is a disagreement among the latter authorities regarding fruits planted specifically for feeding animals.
