Shalom, Kvod HaRav Taken from Sefer Devarim 18:10-11 10. There shall not be found among you anyone who passes his son or daughter through fire, a soothsayer, a diviner of [auspicious] times, one who interprets times, one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11. or a charmer, a pithom sorcerer, a yido’a sorcerer, or a necromancer. Rashi, of righteous memory, interpreted a charmer as one who collects snakes, scorpions, or other creatures into one place. My question is, does this apply to zoos as well? Toda raba.
