Do you think it is cruel to breed animals or fish for bigger animal or fish?

Some people breed small animals as food for their pets. For example, owners of Oscar fish tend to breed worms, guppies, mollies, and goldfish to feed the Oscar. Those owners of snakes or other reptiles breed hamsters to feed their dear pet. Do you think it is cruel to do so? Some people feel very sorry when they see the small fish trying to hide from the big fish, and the hamster running away from the snake. However, others feel that it is part of nature. Since nature endows the snake to eat small creatures, they are right to feed the pet its natural food. It is true that in nature, big fish eats small fish, and snakes and other predators eat small creatures. However, I find it is cruel for me to offer the live animals and fish as food. Come to think of it, we also partake in the meat of animals smaller and bigger than ourselves. Most of us feel no guilt in eating chicken, pork, beef, sharkfin, fish, mutton and other meat. What about you? What is your view on this.
