New Zealand Won’t Take Fat Immigrants
December 13th, 2007 by eddyra on Life
A British man who moved to New Zealand has been told by officials that his wife is too fat to join him. Richie Trezise, 35, a rugby-playing Welshman, lost weight to gain entry to New Zealand after being rejected for being overweight and a potential burden on the health care system.
His wife, Rowan, is now on a strict diet. However, she has been battling for months to shed the pounds so they can be reunited and live Down Under.
Mr Trezise moved to New Zealand in September after shedding two inches from his waist on a crash diet. He said that if his wife was not allowed to come out by Christmas they would abandon the idea of emigrating.
Gezzzz… what a sad story. I wonder why even this kind of descrimination also exist in this world. Luckly I am not obese. Huhu..
