When I saw this video I burst in to tears 20years confirmed in that tiny tank it’s absolutely disgusting and I cannot begin to think the sheer boredom and sadness this animal feels something must be done immediately
acompanho os meninos desde o iland E NUNCA vi um descanso! A empresa só pensa em si mesma, no dinheiro e nem aí para a saúde física e mental dos meninos do enhypen, que são sua FONTE DE DINHEIRO! se eles não pensam nem na saúde dos meninos imagina nós fãs? eles simplesmente tiraram um membro do grupo injustamente e deixaram os fãs e os membros desamparados! essa empresa tem que mudar
I've been an engene since late 2021. I've been here since before Dimension: Dilemma. I went to their first-ever concert in my city. I have bought multiple copies of the same album. I even have 2 signed albums that I bought from the official website, and I have streamed their music a lot. I am a heavy consumer, and I am not happy with how the company has handled Enhypen. It has always left me a sour taste in my mouth whenever I see that another tour has been announced with no break in between. I didn't enjoy hearing Jay say that he had a knee injury during his first-ever tour, and he was not put on hiatus to rest. THEY STILL KEPT TOURING AFTER THAT. I didn't like seeing Jake crying during a performance because he was in physical pain. AND I certainly don't like that Heeseung is being erased from the group as if he never existed in the first place, so yeah, I'm signing this and you should too.
The only reason we go to alton towers is having the pass. If we didnt have it my daughter would never experience days out. She absolutely cannot stand in the lines for that amount of time it causes her extreme anxiety being so crowded she has autism. Its also ridiculous to say we have videos and a sensory room we arent going there to watch videos how is that going to help anybody with autism like its a magic wand or use sensory rooms thats not what we are paying money for. Why have merlin not added the crowds as is stated on the other cards. Her long planned 16th birthday weekend at towers is now ruined and we have lost a lot of money with hotel bookings and tickets etc that has been planned a long time as you have to do with nurodivergent people!
A company that has won awards for being autism friendly, now shunning all the families who rely on RAP to have days out made accessible. Those passes were a lifeline to so many ND people. This new rule, which literally came into place AFTER everyone had booked the first round of RAP, has devastated so many. Learning difficulties, ADHD, and autism are all recognised disabilities and they shouldn't be discriminated against.
My daughter struggles with the concept of queuing. She’s 22 and non verbal. She’s not going to suddenly understand now. She even struggles in the queues that mix with fast track. All she can see is the big queue in front of her rather than seeing that it moves quickly. She is getting better with those on a quieter day but not always. If she’s in meltdown it’s a struggle to move her away though in the closeness of the queue.
The thrill and the fun that she gets from the rides are her everything.
It makes me really sad as Alton towers has actually helped her achieve so much over the years. When she had new medication that she didn’t want to take she was rewarded with a trip to AT for taking it. We made cut up laminated photos of AT rides with Velcro and gave her a piece for each step from the front door to getting in the taxi to school when she refused to go. When she lost the only bottle she would use. We said she if she used her new bottle she could go to AT. She had a sip before each ride. AT really helped her to achieve goals that were difficult for her.
We only ever visit quiet days but she still needed the rap.
We actually did try a day when rap wasn’t available. She had a meltdown and AT sent her to customer services to be given it as they saw how the queuing affected her.
I have actually praised Alton towers for the new prebooking of rap as the rap queues were way too long for her.
To think that she may never go again is actually heartbreaking
I stand in unwavering solidarity with Bangladesh and fully support this principled request to the International Cricket Council.
Cricket is not merely a game for Bangladesh — it is a source of national pride, unity, and identity for millions. Our players carry the hopes of an entire nation every time they step onto the field. Their safety, dignity, and mental peace must never be compromised under any circumstances.
International sport must rise above political tension, public sentiment, and regional hostility. When legitimate concerns are raised regarding security, fairness, and the well-being of athletes, it is the moral responsibility of the governing body to listen with seriousness and empathy — not dismissal. Neutral venues exist precisely for moments like this, to protect the spirit of the game and the lives of those who play it.
Bangladesh has always shown respect for cricket, for its opponents, and for the global cricketing community. In return, Bangladesh deserves equal respect, equal consideration, and equal protection. Decisions taken by the ICC must reflect justice, humanity, and the core values of sportsmanship — not convenience or precedent.
This is not about politics. This is about human safety, fairness, and integrity. A truly global sport cannot thrive if some teams are asked to take risks others would never be expected to accept.
I respectfully urge the ICC to reconsider its position and relocate Bangladesh’s matches to a neutral and secure venue. Doing so would not weaken the tournament — it would strengthen the credibility of international cricket and reaffirm that no team, no nation, and no player is expendable.
Standing with Bangladesh today is standing for the soul of cricket itself.

Even if India can ensure the safety of Bangladeshi players, what about the safety of Bangladeshi supporters and journalists? The ICC previously acknowledged a moderate to high security risk for them. When India raised security concerns, the ICC changed the venue immediately. Why is the same standard not being applied to Bangladesh? The ICC must act neutrally and consistently.
