Is it cruel to keep animals in cages:

Could you imagine spending your life confined to a cage and not having the freedom to do what you want or wish? Could you imagine being kept as a pet in a cage not being able to live in your natural habitat?  I strongly believe that it is cruel to keep animals in cages.

Animals kept in cages and in captivity can obviously not communicate on how they feel so us humans will never understand what feelings animals have being kept in the cages that we make. Animals belong in the wild and keeping them confined should be a crime! Today there are laws stating the legal rights that every human being has in today's society why shouldn't animals have some rights too.

Animals that are either being kept at zoos or being kept as pets at homes should all be treated well. People must understand that when you pay money to buy an animal and bring it into your home you have an obligation to feed and take care of this animal and therefore treat it as part of the family. Many cases are showed on Tv and even in the newspaper of people either comercially or at their own house exposeing their animals to cruel, harsh living conditions which I believe isn't fair!

I strongly believe that our future generations must understand that animals should be treated with respect and we as their owners should have a responsibility to furfill this obligation. I strongly believe that it is imperative to free our confined caged wildlife so they can be happy living as part of our families.
