No it is not cruel. We keep our dog locked up during day time actually. But we release the evening because it needs its energy and to be alert.
Not cruel. Dogs like their crates :) I've only done it to stray cats and they've usually been so sick or injured they didn't mind. I'm not sure if a healthy one would be alright with it.
