Is It Cruel to Keep Animals In Cages

Is It Cruel to Keep Animals In Cages?

I believe that it is cruel to keep animals in cages because all animals have rights and being kept in cages all their lives gives them no rights at all an they are under total control by the people who are keeping them in cages.

Imagine if you were put in a cage so small you couldn't stand up or stretch out your arms and all you could do is sit down and be unable to move you body around.
Most people in 1st world countries would not even think of doing that to other humans but yet just down the road at their local zoo helpless animals are being kept in those claustrophobic cage so us human beings can have the privilege to see those animals.
If we wouldn't do it to to other humans why is it right to do to to animals, what makes that right?

I personally think it is wrong to keep helpless animals in cages for most or all of their lives and I believe that this issue should be widely know throughout Australia that these animals, these poor animals are being kept in these tiny cages where they cant even move around, all they can do is sit there not knowing what might happen.
