Should animals be kept in a cage?

I strongly believe that that all animals should not be kept in cages unless they are endangered species like the kiwi bird and the Asian tiger because they are in the need of protection.

Firstly, putting animals in cages is cruel and should not be allowed because putting animals in cages will be taking them away from their natural habitat. By doing that it is separating them from their families and only makes them depressed. They will hate life being locked up. This is cruelty and should stop.

Secondly, the animal’s life will be shorter. It was scientifically proven that animals with a caged life will be shorter. Free animals will live longer because they can roam around freely and exercise all they want. If you lived in a cage you would have no exercise and will die.

Animals like the Asian tiger are endangered which means that now they  have to live in small cages because of the human race and their hunting. When they killed the tigers fewer of them remained and now they have to be kept in cages.

Big make-up manufactures like MAC actually test their make-up on animals before releasing it to the public. That is cruel and it should stop. There are times when an animal gets a facial problem from the testing and there is no correcting it. The people at MAC cosmetics only care about selling their products, not the effect it is going to have on the animals.

In conclusion, animals should have a better life and should not have to live in a cage any longer. They deserve a nice long life outside that horrible cage.
