That seems so crazy. Do you know how much it costs just to feed a dog for years? Plus if you leave it in a cage, it pisses and ****s in it's cage which gets pretty ugly pretty quickly. Someone then has to clean the cage and the dog without getting bitten. So the better solution is to take the dog on regular walks so that it goes to the bathroom outside. But someone still has to get it out of it's cage, get it's muzzle on, walk it, pick up its poo, return to cage, take muzzle off, put back in cage, etc. It's a ton of work. Plus all the vet bills.
Also, if you keep a dog in a cage it's entire life, it'll go crazy. Dogs need plenty of exercise and wouldn't do well alone in the cage for the majority of their life.
