The term cage is an emotive one with regards to housing people. Whatever you call it, it has to keep him enclosed, presumably for his own safety as well as others. At least he can see through it. Much better than if it had been 4 walls made of brick? That would be worse. OK, the 'cage' isn't the most asthetically pleasing structure but it does the job. They could spend more on bricks and wood and it would look more pleasing the the eye, but wouldn't be any more functional? Put some pictures up, some toys in and it would be more comfortable?

If he was forced to live, eat and defecate in there I can see the issue, but it's a just a temporary outdoor play area?
