I am going to write about why I agree keeping animals in cages are cruel because sometimes, being in one place all the time is very lonely and the animal can't move anywhere. Imagine you being placed in a cage! How would you feel now? Animals should normally live in free wide spaces instead of one small space, in the wild is best for an animal, in a zoo it is acceptable for an animal but in a cage, it's a nightmare for an animal.
I agree that putting animals in a cage is very cruel because it can definitely injure or kill animals. Take a large animal for instance, a bear that was in captivity was put in a very small cage and that it was straining to get out. If he keeps on straining, then he is going to hurt or most likely kill himself. The cage was made in wood and part of it broke because the bear was too big. The bear then stuck his hand through the broken part hoping that it can get out but he didn't and that even hurt him more. There are other disadvantages of being in a cage. Animal would be alone, hurt, bored, and pampered. However, cages are not cruel if you let the animal out once in a while everyday.
Overall though, cages are cruel unless you know an animals feelings. If you need to use a cage, then you have to let an animal you own out for a while and then when it is time, you should put the animal back into it's cage. But using cages, it has to depend on a lot things. One is the animal, it's size, weight, strength, agility, behavior and many other things. So, if an animal is very naughty, then it would be the cage for him/her but still, you have to let it out even if it is naughty because being locked in a cage would be boring for him/her.
