UPDATED WITH WARNING TO ALL INTENDING STUDENTS & THEIR ADVISORS: Deceived or Part of the Deception? Massey Vet Student Environment Unfit for Purpose
Jordan Kelly • 9 September 2026

MORAL INJURY OR EQUALLY EVIL?
Massey Vet Students on December 1: 
Were You Deceived . . . or Participants In the Deception?

(PART ONE)


UPDATE 9.9.26 (For any intending student, parent funding a student, or careers advisor, wanting to ensure quality and ethical veterinary education, here's your warning):

The Massey "neurologist" and veterinary "educator"who apparently (or conveniently) can't tell a "demented" dog from a catastrophically (contraindicated) sedative-overdosed dog, has been named: "Dr" Anita Shea. Shea's apparent (or convenient) inability to discern between a "sedated" dog and a "demented" dog, with said dog on a table in front of her, greatly assisted fellow "educator" "Dr" Steffi Jalava in her prolonged and intensive coercion of the owner for Harry's immediate (and as it later transpired, totally without cause) destruction, following Jalava's utilisation of him as a live teaching prop and as student "educational" video content.


The author (and owner of the precious NON-"demented" little papillon who was sent to a totally unnecessary death based on Shea's "diagnostic skills" and collusion with Jalava) vehemently urges ALL young persons seeking an ethical and competent education in veterinary science, to look elsewhere for your studies.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PET OWNERS:


Under New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act 1999, companion animals are recognised as sentient beings, and in civil/property law, they remain the legal property and chattels of their owners.


Converting private property for unauthorised commercial use (like student training or film production, as is documented here to have been the case with the author's own pet, Harry, a blind papillon offering Massey's Dr Steffi Jalava and Dr Anita Shea additional student interest teaching value vis-à-vis his blindness, which veterinary codes of practice should have ensured, as a  disability, resulted in greater care,  NOT training utilisation) without consent is an actionable legal violation.


Separately, and beyond the ownership question, the Act's own definition of ill-treatment — "causing the animal to suffer, by any act or omission, pain or distress that in its kind or degree, or in its object, or in the circumstances in which it is inflicted, is unreasonable or unnecessary" — together with Section 11's obligation on persons in charge of an ill or injured animal to ensure it receives treatment alleviating any unreasonable or unnecessary pain or distress, would itself have prohibited Harry's use in invasive, hands-on student procedures while in his catastrophically over-sedated, fluid-deprived, renally compromised state, irrespective of any question of consent or ownership.


The intentional, repeated, catastrophic levels of overdosing with an unnecessary, contraindicated, convenience sedative; his covert conversion to University utilisation as a live teaching specimen; and the fabricated diagnosis manufactured by Drs Shea and Jalava to support Jalava's aggressive coercion of Harry's owner (by plan, misrepresenting his undisclosed sedated state as a sudden "neurological decline") achieved an immediate, in-situ termination of his life — later discovered to be completely unnecessary.


The quest for accountability is ongoing and is being strenuously resisted by Massey's management, with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand in full and active support of Massey's obstruction and perversion of natural justice.


The Graduation of Ignorance or the Graduation of Evil?


If this is how Massey trains its students to think about consent and ownership, that mindset doesn't stay contained within the university. It graduates with those students.


This article outlines specific, documented clinical anomalies from the final admission of Harry Kelly on November 30 and December 1, 2025. The data points retrieved directly from Massey University's (albeit highly redacted) clinical records establish a timeline that forces a binary ethical question regarding the environment in which New Zealand's future veterinarians are trained.


The Clinical Summary itself is impregnated with multiple fabrications and posthumous additions and insertions — all itemised and pointed out to MPI's investigators in my 342-page report.


This Was Not One Clinician's Spontaneous Decision (Which Would Have Been Heinous Enough)


Massey's own records, from a visit several months prior, document that Harry had an adverse reaction to Gabapentin at a quarter of the dose he was given on the night of November 30.


International veterinary literature, and Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook specifically, state that Gabapentin must be used with caution and at reduced dosages in renally impaired patients — and Harry's own admission bloodwork showed marked elevations of urea and creatinine, confirming exactly that impairment. Despite this documented history sitting in Massey's own files and updated with the extensive bloodwork I paid for that very night, he was given a full-day dose calculated for a healthy dog many times his size, potentiated with a second drug, with two individually catastrophic doses administered just 26 minutes apart — all within the opening hours of the overnight shift.


This is not the profile of reckless incompetence alone. The severity, the catastrophic dosages of the specific drug already flagged as contraindicated in Massey's own records, and the timing — concentrated at the very start of his admission (and continued on the next day by the day shift) — raise the question of whether Harry was identified and earmarked as a teaching specimen from the moment he arrived. That is, rather than simply an opportunistic decision by "Dr" Steffi Jalava alone, made on the spot the following morning to avoid hitting the emergency button, which would mean having to commence urgent corrective treatment and also therefore having to write a report for the formal records.


Were Jalava's & Shea's Students Deceived or Willing Participants in the Deception?


The clinical records show that Harry's IV fluid line was permanently disconnected at 8.38am on Monday, December 1, 2025. By this time he would have been in a state of pharmacological collapse or near-collapse. That rehydrating fluid - the only thing for which he was actually admitted, would, by that time have been life-essential, in order to flush the phenomenal overdoses of Gabapentin and the potentiating Prevomax through his already impaired kidneys (the kidneys being Gabapentin's precise exit route from the body).


In terms of how many staff were involved in the decision to covertly convert this pet of a private fee-paying client (me) for owner-unauthorised, invasive, hands-on student training activities, it is instructive to note that Dr Steffi Maja Jalava stated in conversation that her day shift did not commence until 9am. Therefore, the physical act of disconnecting the life-essential fluids occurred under the watch of the overnight crew during the final minutes of the midnight-to-9am shift. (This would be why Massey and the Veterinary Council are refusing not only to release the identity of the veterinarian on that shift, but are also refusing to confirm that they even operate that overnight shift with a licensed veterinarian in attendance.)


Furthermore, the invoice details the explicit charging of a premium "Dura Flow Coil MILA set". This specialised coiled tubing is engineered to extend and stretch, allowing an animal to move or turn in its cage without kinking or tangling the line. The presence of this equipment invalidates any post-hoc claim that fluids were disconnected because the patient was moving or thrashing. (The heavily heavily redacted and ludicrously doctored "Clinical Summary" claims the IV line was disconnected because the "line keeps tangling" . . . belying not only the very specific equipment billed for, but also the claim to any degree of professionally-educated, qualified or even supervised care . . . UNLESS . . . ) The line was unhooked because the physical pump and running tubing presented an impediment to moving Harry away out of his cage for hands-on student training modules and video production.


Tellingly, no IDEXX diagnostic monitoring of Harry's vitals exists for the Monday morning period (the morning after his Sunday night admission), despite monitoring having been run the night before. To any ethical or qualified veterinary staff member, a renally-compromised patient receiving repeated heavy sedation requires blood monitoring to track clearance and toxicity. None was run.


The "Clinical Summary" also makes a vague reference to a phone call allegedly made to me as Harry's owner at approximately 8am — a call I never received. No call was missed, no voicemail was left, and no record of any incoming call from Massey at that time exists on my end. This detail (together with significant other fraudulent claims, noting that Harry's Clinical Summary sat with Massey's Legal department for some time before its release to me) has been included in full within the 342-page forensic timeline report I produced for the Ministry of Primary Industries' Animal Welfare Investigation team currently investigating Massey's Veterinary Teaching Hospital.


The Students Were Either 'In On It' & Complicit . . . Or They Are Being Intentionally 'Mis-educated'


The above establishes the first ethical binary for the students present on the morning of December 1, 2025:


  • The December 1, 2025 Students Were Either the Subjects of the Deception:


If students participated in the morning's "training" session believing that Harry was a sanctioned, scheduled end-of-life euthanasia case, they were deliberately misled by senior clinical staff. (He absolutely was NOT, and the 13-page additional document I also produced for the MPI Animal Welfare Investigation team, containing the relevant sections of his recent (including up to just 12 days' prior at an independent vet clinic) is concrete proof of that - notwithstanding even if that weren't the case, such a decision is not for Massey staff and students to make to justify their covert utilisation of a client's pet.)

If the students were deceived by the overnight staff, Jalava and "Dr" Anita Shea, those students were induced into utilising a live, conscious, heavily sedated animal (a client's pet i.e. private property) as a teaching prop under false pretences.


OR


  • The December 1, 2025 Students Were Complicit:


If students were not given that false framing and participated without questioning the absence of owner authorisation, then the training environment normalises the unauthorised use of private clients' fee-paying pets for covert conversion as literal stolen property for Massey's commercial usage.


The Neurologist Who Wasn't on the Bill


Massey bills for everything. Yet the invoice for Harry's admission contains no charge whatsoever for the involvement of Dr Anita Shea, the "neurologist" Jalava told me she had brought in to examine him . . . remembering that there was nil sign or suspicion either by me at any time, and on his independent veterinary records as of just 12 days' prior, of any such "neurological issues" that would require a "neurological" examination (and bearing in mind that Harry was admitted purely for rehydration during a period of intense high temperatures).


The timing of how that Shea's involvement was disclosed to me is, in itself, informative. If Jalava genuinely believed Harry was experiencing a sudden neurological decline, that would have been the first and most urgent thing she told me — both in the 45-minute phone call and in the room. It wasn't. No mention of it in her circa 11am phone call to me (which was as vague in justification and reasoning as it was coercive, re her insistence that she wanted his destruction upon my arrival back at Massey that afternoon), and during the then in-person circa one-hour coercion, this "neurological" framing was introduced only once her prior, vaguer characterisations of his condition weren't securing my agreement. To be noted, when she felt she had sufficiently "conditioned" me and I was allowed to see Harry, she at one point had me place him on the floor and demand that I watch him walk. He was barely able to . . . being disoriented in his blindness and the unfamiliarity of the environment . . . but more to the point . . . he was, unbeknownst to me, SEDATED. Of COURSE he couldn't walk strongly or in a straight line. Neither, would JALAVA have been able to under such heavy (and undisclosed) sedation!


Back to the "neurologist", "Dr" Anita Shea, who - according to Jalava - had "examined" him in order to back up Jalava's "neurological" "diagnosis":  Even the "Clinical Summary" that was finally released to me when Massey's Legal team had finished doctoring it, shows that, in fact, with a proper read, Shea was actually conducting student hands-on activity with Harry, in conjunction with Jalava's use of Harry as a live teaching specimen. That's why something that Massey would normally bill mercilessly for wasn't billed for, and that's why no "neurological" decline or emergency was introduced into the "immediate euthanasia required" coercion until all the various vagaries hadn't hit a home run with me.


In other words, either a genuine neurological assessment was performed and never billed (but Massey doesn't, in fact, work that way), or an assessment that was never genuinely about Harry's neurology at all was deployed, mid-conversation, once it became useful as a tool of persuasion.


This raises the same question already posed of the students more broadly: did they know Shea's "neurological examination" was being conducted on a dog whose owner had not been told the truth about his repeatedly and catastrophically over-sedated condition, and were they comfortable with that — comfortable enough to participate, photograph, and film it regardless, including on cell phones in selfie mode (and what happened to those videos, because Massey has refused to release the majority of them)?


Or were those students told that this was a genuine, necessary clinical assessment, conducted with the owner's knowledge and the dog's welfare in mind, when in fact neither was true?


A Question to Those 'Veterinary' Students of December 1, 2025


Tell me . . . if you, once graduated, were needing to communicate that the reason — or the primary reason — for your client's pet to suddenly need "euthanased" was some sharp neurological decline . . . wouldn't you lead with that in your conversations?


Wouldn't that be the first thing you said when you called them? And wouldn't it be the first thing you said, and your main point of discussion, in a "consultation" in which you were pushing for "euthanasia"? (Again, it was never mentioned once on the morning's lengthy phone call from Jalava, and it wasn't brought up until well into the "consulting" room discussion, when Jalava could see that I wasn't buying the otherwise general, vague nature of her reasoning.)


Either answer returns to the same indictment already established.


If the students knew, then Massey's training practices, and Steffi Jalava's and Anita Shea's "teaching" processes and "ethics", normalise participating in a fiction performed on a non-consenting client's pet.


If the students didn't know, then they were lied to about the very nature of what they were being trained to do . . . they were being taught to believe they were witnessing legitimate, necessary clinical practice when they were in fact participants in a staged justification for a pre-determined outcome.


What Was Actually Done to Harry


Whatever students were or weren't told, what was physically done to Harry that morning is documented in Massey's own clinical notes.


He was subjected to a menace response test — repeated testing of the blink reflex of a dog who was blind. (Editor's Note: Is there not something that seems odd to you about that, Students?) Proprioception testing, flipping his paws to see how long it took him to correct them. Vestibulo-ocular reflex testing, forcing his head from side to side. A sound reaction test (intensely frightening for a blind dog in an unfamiliar, clinical environment) noted as showing "inconsistent responses" — ignoring that he was heavily sedated at the time (and used as the justification for stating in the "Clinical Summary" that he was "deaf" (Harry had perfectly normal, even sharp, hearing, despite his age). Calvarium pressure, applying pressure to his skull to elicit a pain response. A full dental grading exercise, clinically irrelevant to a dehydration admission (and the height of cruelty and clinical and ethical irresponsibility on a pharmacologically-collapsing dog), but high "teaching value" for a student rotation.


None of this bears any relationship to the sole reason for his admission — rehydration.


But all of it provides the live teaching specimen needed to make good on the promises Massey makes to its students in its program marketing literature . . . never mind that it appears to come at the cost of utilising - including  lethally, where convenient,  for Jalava,  Shea  and ICU night staff - private clients' family pets.


What Was It Like to Stand in That Room?
Horrifying? Uncomfortable? Just Another Day in the Clinic? Or Exciting to See Such Cruelty in Action?


Somewhere in that ICU, on the morning of December 1, there were students standing over a small, blind, fifteen-year-old dog who could not see who was touching him, poking and prodding him cruelly and mercilessly, including"interesting" but horrifying (to a blind dog) investigative procedures on  his little blind eyes for their apparent "edification" . . . and who could not understand why his body would not respond the way it should, and who could not call out for the one person he trusted to make it stop (i.e. his owner, myself, who believed her beloved dog was in the "caring" hands of "Massey" receiving the simple, straightforward 24-hour rehydration protocol for which he was actually there).


Some of those students will have simply done as they were told, the way trainees in any hierarchical clinical environment are conditioned to do. Some may have felt a flicker of unease — at the dog's stillness, at the absence of any owner present, at being asked to test reflexes on an animal who showed every visible sign of being heavily sedated rather than neurologically impaired — and said nothing, because questioning a senior clinician mid-rotation is not what students are taught to do.


It's worth ALL of Massey's "veterinary" students taking some time to reflect on whether this normalisation of cruelty, covert private property conversion, and deception of fee-paying pet owners right through to the point of the convenient destruction of the evidence of these actions, malpractices and misfeasances involving the deception of pets' owners with false diagnoses and high-pressure, intensive coercion socked away in a private room . . . whether this is the standard of "compassion" and "ethics" that they want to import into the private veterinary clinics of New Zealand and further afield.


If a pet owner cannot trust you not to convenience-sedate, overdose, and utilise as your own property, their pet behind the closed doors of your own back-of-house — is that the veterinarian, is that the human being, you want to become when you walk out into the vet clinics of New Zealand, or anywhere else in the world?


Did you really pay five years' hefty tuition fees to Massey University's Veterinary "Teaching Hospital" to have them surgically remove your compassion, your ethics and your basic humanity? Is that why you wanted to become a vet?


_________________________


MESSAGE TO IMMEDIATE PAST VICE-CHANCELLOR OF MASSEY UNIVERSITY, JAN THOMAS, ON WHOSE WATCH THESE STUDENT TRAINING STANDARDS WERE NORMALISED:


Now that you chair the very organisation that provides accreditation for Massey University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital — the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) — have you yet formally declared your material conflict of interest, as you are legally required to do under Section 191 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia)?


For the avoidance of doubt:  That declaration must be entered into the AVBC's Register of Directors' Interests, and must be accompanied by your documented recusal from any discussions, votes, or oversight regarding Massey University's accreditation status or compliance reviews.


Failure to do so -  under Australian corporate law - is a serious breach of statutory director duties, carrying personal fines and potential disqualification from managing corporations.

INSIDE THE MASSEY 'VETERINARY TEACHING' CULTURE:
What Students Are Really Learning . . . & It's NOT Good (PART TWO)

Teaching students to achieve their objectives through overdosing clients' pets with convenience sedation in place of actual "care", falsification of notes, covert conversion of private property, complete disregard for the Animal Welfare Act 1999, complete disregard for the Veterinary Code of Professional Conduct, digital data scrubbing with disregard for the Crimes Act 1961 (records tampering), evasion of accountability (including statutory) and relying on the industry regulator's stonewalling and sleights of hand . . . and more.


Indeed, it seems Massey likes its "students" to "get their money's worth". Ethics, be damned.

UPDATED 8.9.26 Massey Vet Teaching Hospital ICU: Where Empathy & Ethics Go to Die

by Jordan Kelly • 8 September 2026
UPDATE 8.9.26: The Massey "neurologist" who apparently (or conveniently) can't tell a "demented" dog from a catastrophically (contraindicated) sedative-overdosed dog, has been named: She is "Dr" Anita Shea. Shea's apparent inability to discern the distinction between "sedated" and "demented" with said dog on a table in front of her, greatly assisted "Dr" Steffi Jalava in her prolonged and intensive coercion of the owner for Harry's immediate (and as it later transpired, totally without cause) destruction. The author (and owner of the precious NON-"demented" little papillon who was sent to a totally unnecessary death based on Shea's "diagnostic skills") vehemently urges all pet owners to avoid any contact with this "clinician" - who, in the author's opinion is incomprehensibly incompetent, or utterly monstrous. Or perhaps, both. THIRD UPDATE: Since the original January 16 publication of this article, and despite Massey's ongoing efforts to obscure the identities of those involved, the day shift clinician who delivered the fraudulent diagnosis and administered the lethal injection has been identified by her full name: Dr Steffi Maja Jalava. She is far from the only person culpable for the torture, fraud, and fully unnecessary termination of Harry's life . However, Jalava's completely false "terminal" "neurological" "diagnosis" and "prognosis" delivered throughout two hours of aggressive coercion — after "teaching" staff had finished their unauthorised and unspeakably cruel utilisation of Harry in student activities and filming — were the grounds on which I was duped into signing a "euthanasia" "consent" form . . . and worse still, participating therefore in the wrongful killing of my own deeply beloved dog. The identities of the night shift veterinarian and ICU staff responsible for the overnight overdosing described in this article — the repeated, catastrophic levels of contraindicated administration of Gabapentin and Prevomax to a renally-compromised patient between approximately midnight and 9am on December 1, 2025 — remain unknown and actively withheld by Massey. If you were on duty in Massey's Companion Animal Hospital ICU on the night of November 30 into December 1, 2025, or if you have knowledge of who was, this investigation would like to hear from you. UPDATE TO READERS: Since writing this article, my continuing research has indicated that Harry was likely not only simply sedated (and massively so) for the sake of the ICU staff's convenience, but also to facilitate a multiplicity of training procedures to be conducted upon him - with the intention that the fronting clinician, "Steffi", would present him as requiring urgent "euthanasia" through a sudden natural decline in his condition. Unfortunately, for Massey management and personnel, I have not only my own memory of him standing strongly on his back legs in his ICU cage at midnight and reaching through the door for comfort, but also now a video of him actively "circling" on the ICU floor, just hours before he was presented to me in a flacid, semi-comatose state with no viable explanation other than some supposedly nature decline. UPDATE TO THE UPDATE : The above indications have not only since been confirmed , but what actually happened to Harry was far worse, and constituted much more than gross malpractice. My latest findings move the entire matter squarely into the category of malfeasance - both at the clinical level and at the highest levels of Massey's management.

UPDATED 8.9.26: MASSEY VETS FALSIFY RECORDS: POLICE REPORT FILED

by Jordan Kelly • 8 September 2026
Readers following the coverage of my attempts to get to the bottom of what happened to my beloved little papillon, Harry, with whom I was extraordinarily closely bonded, will know that: (A) The rot in Massey University’s Companion Animal “Hospital” (CAH) runs deep. (B) Honesty and transparency is not their policy. Denial, dismissal, stonewalling, legal threats and intimidation are. (C) Animals aren’t safe there, with cruelty embedded in “care”, and your property (as your pet legally is) not considered your property at all, as far as Massey, its CAH staff and management are concerned. Your pet is theirs ; to do with as they please, according to their mindset and their modus operandi. And if that involves catastrophic levels of unauthorised, contraindicated, convenience sedation to facilitate their use of your pet in monetised student video collections (including on private cell phones, and to which you will be given no access), this too, according to Massey, is its own God-given right and “best practice” Standard Operating Procedure. (D) “Informed Consent” has a very different meaning in the Massey playbook to that which is generally deemed its accepted definition. (E) “Accountability” is a foreign concept and not one with which they have any intention of becoming acquainted. (F) Laws – including those governing animal welfare, property conversion and more – are not only optional, in Massey’s case, they simply don’t apply. In fact, they appear blissfully ignorant of them according to my (and Harry's) experience. You know all that. You’ve read about it here , here , here , here , here , here , here , here and in most of my other now 30+ articles covering the numerous different sub-atrocities within the overall atrocity that was the demise and disposal of my precious little Harry. Actually, "atrocious" doesn't come anywhere near to being an adequate adjective. Despite having been a professional writer since I was 16 and having upwards of 25 published books under my belt, I don't actually have an adjective that's adequate for the pure evil that was perpetrated upon Harry . . . and, by extension, me . There is not one word or one phrase that can sufficiently convey the depth and breadth of the sheer, unadulterated wickedness that festers without restraint within the walls of Massey University's Companion Animal "Hospital". What you, my readers (or those of you not on Massey's massive legal team payroll) didn’t yet know – because I didn’t yet know – is that record and evidence tampering (which, for any other New Zealand citizen would attract jail time of up to 10 years under the Crimes Act 1961 Section 258 (Altering document with intent to deceive) or Section 260 (Falsifying registers) , and/or a $10,000 fine under the Privacy Act Section 212(2)(b) - appears also to be included in the “we’re exempt” culture of Massey and its veterinary “hospital” staff. Note to Readers: The above laws aren't some hypothetical, bottom-drawer, dusty old legal tracts in archaic library textbooks. They're real, "living" laws that apply to every individual in our country. And today, they are being made to apply to Dr Stephanie Rigg and her "colleagues" who falsified Harry's records to create a cover-up of what they did to him . . . and to me. I will, duly, see Dr Rigg and her associates in Court. Dissecting the Cover-Up: Massey’s Metadata of Deception But back to what readers do know for a moment: You’ll know that I’ve been in the battle of battles for the past two months to extract Harry’s full records (or anything approaching them) from Massey’s Legal and Governance department. HOWEVER . . . there was one thing I hadn’t known how to decipher that they actually had finally drip-fed to me. It was File Name: Patient Change Log (Field-Level Audit) . I’ve been learning a lot about veterinary science, record-keeping, and law in general lately. Not because I wanted to. But because if you want to figure out how deep the rot really runs at Massey, you kind of have to. So I’ve learned a bit about how to decipher clinical metadata. Just e nough to realise that this Patient Change Log (Field-Level Audit) is exactly where the digital fingerprints of a cover-up are hiding. Despite the fact that this document has as much redacted as it shows (probably more), with ALL staff names and positions blacked out, for example -I still found four distinct “smoking gun” entries in these otherwise heavily-redacted metadata logs. BIG. FAT. SMOKING. GUNS. that amounted to one undeniable overall conclusion: This document isn’t a clinical record so much as it’s a literal crime scene . There were already so many dodgy inconsistencies in the few items I'd managed to pull out of Massey to that point (as I've documented in various of my preceding articles). But this document is where, undeniably, the bodies are buried. You just need to know which clod of dirt to look under. Hidden in Plain Sight . . . In A Little Thing Called the Metadata (That the Average Pet Owner Wouldn't Even Know Existed ) There are four hidden but key findings demonstrating that the entire timeline of Harry’s “experience” in that hellhole were was orchestrated, and the sudden "neurological event/decline" exit strategy planned for him were a total fabrication. And that fabrication had a start time. (For this start time we will initially revert our focus back to Massey's previously-supplied "Clinical Summary" (in all its dodginess) . . . We will then lead from the immediately below into the afore-mentioned "Patient Change Log (Field-Level Audit)". Bear with me. I promise not to let this get boring). Well, one of two start times. Either: (1) The 8.38am disconnection of his (with, by-then, the TWO 750% overdoses of the renally contraindicated convenience sedative with which the "crying dog"-sensitive ICU staff had plied him overnight) now life-essential IV fluids (8.5 hours into the prescribed 24-hour protocol that they charged me for). And/or: (2) When the day shift ICU "vet" arrived at 9am and decided a THIRD 750% overdose would be a strategic way do deal with a clearly already massively overdosed little 3.8kg, 15-year-old, dehydrated dog. Now WHY would any vet take such a decision? Well, for legal purposes, of course (remembering that the Venerable Dean Jon Huxley and the obviously not- so-new-broom Vice-Chancellor Pierre Venter, have all the money in the public purse to pay their top-tier external legal counsel . . . and by gum, there are enough of the buggers, if this site's analytics are anything to be guided by), I will precede the following by stating that these are my conclusions, made on the basis of the collation and evaluation of the information before me. That said, what I know of my readers is this: You are no intellectual slouches. Feel free to let me know if you can come up with any other conclusion from the information (complete with now numerous "receipts") that I have thus far presented, most especially here and here , and most tellingly of all, in today's expose. R emember, though, I held the ultimate evidence in my arms at 6pm on December 1 . . . and, some 45 minutes later, I let them take it (safely, for them) away from me, just like Harry's (the literal body of evidence) life had just been taken from him. Little Numerals that Tell A BIG Story The plan for Harry's manufactured exit is not so much written into the records, as it is revealed by the tampering with the logs. They lay bare the lead vet’s apparent plan that his life would come to an abrupt end by the pre-scheduled time of (well, they couldn't quite get consistency in the logs regarding the exact minute, but by the absolute latest time of) 17:00 hours i.e. 5pm . . . assumedly, the end of the day shift on December 1. Just in time to mark him "Deceased" and seal off the records of this catastrophically overdosed patient, before the next shift came on, saw his records, and someone started asking the immediately necessary, and certainly appropriate, questions. And those questions would (0R SHOULD ) have included , but would certainly not have been limited to: How long has this dog been in this state? Why hasn't any rescue and remediation protocol been undertaken? Why was he given yet ANOTHER administration of 50mg of Gabapentin at 09:00 hours after the preceding two during night shift? Why is he disconnected from his IV fluids? Who approved that and why? (And if they knew he'd starred in a multi-video student film festival that morning): Was he taken out of his cage and handled in this state? When did he last drink? Was he given any food before he entered this near-comatose state? Does the owner know of the overdoses and the state he's in? Have you filled in an incident report? Have any emergency specialists been called in for advice? and, no doubt, many more questions. OR . . . maybe not. It depends if the rot in that ICU is fully immersive, or if it's concentrated on Dr Stephanie Rigg's day shift and the ICU shift staff of the preceding (November 30) night. But none of those questions could be asked and none of that could happen. The day shift - led by "Dr" Rigg ("Steffi") - wasn't about to let it happen. Thus, the pre-timestamped, just before end-of-shift, Time of Death entered into the "Euthanasia Authorisation" form that they had all queued up for me long before I ever arrived at that Godforsaken facility that fated December 1 afternoon.

UPDATED 8.9.26: CATASTROPHIC 750% OVERDOSING & DEATH . . . Gross Malpractice, Deception & Management Malfeasance at Massey

by Jordan Kelly • 8 September 2026
UPDATE 8.9.26: The Massey "neurologist" who apparently (or conveniently) can't tell a "demented" dog from a catastrophically (contraindicated) sedative-overdosed dog, has been named: She is "Dr" Anita Shea. Shea's apparent inability to discern between a "sedated" dog and a "demented" dog, with said dog on a table in front of her, greatly assisted "Dr" Steffi Jalava in her prolonged and intensive coercion of the owner for Harry's immediate (and as it later transpired, totally without cause) destruction, following Jalava's utilisation of him as a live teaching prop and as student "educational" video content. The author (and owner of the precious NON-"demented" little papillon who was sent to a totally unnecessary death based on Shea's "diagnostic skills" and collusion with Jalava) vehemently urges ALL pet owners to avoid any contact with these "clinicians" - who, in the author's opinion are incomprehensibly incompetent but worse and even more so, utterly monstrous. UPDATE: Since the original February 15 publication of this article, and despite Massey's ongoing efforts to obscure the identities of those involved , the clinician who delivered the fraudulent diagnosis and administered the lethal injection has been identified by her full name: Dr Steffi Maja Jalava . She is far from the only person culpable for the torture, fraud, and fully unnecessary termination of Harry's life . However, Jalava's completely false "terminal" "neurological" "diagnosis" and "prognosis" delivered throughout two hours of aggressive coercion - after " teaching" staff had finished their unauthorised and unspeakably cruel utilisation of Harry in student activities and filming - were the grounds on which I was duped into signing a "euthanasia" "consent" form . . . and worse still, participating therefore in the wrongful killing of my own deeply beloved dog . My investigation to uncover the names of the ICU staff who, on the night of November 30 , began the catastrophic repeated sedative cocktail overdosing , will continue. As will my endeavours to determine - what I believe is the near-certainty of the fact and the identities of whom administered - the undocumented continuance of the sedation prior to my arrival and the plan to present Harry falsely to me as having suffered some sudden "neurological" event or decline . . . so that I would sign the form for his immediate "euthanasia" . This Is What Happens When Massey Thinks THEY Own Your Dog & Can Do With Him As They Please (You Just Pay the Invoice) At This Appalling, Unaccountable Veterinary House of Horrors (LATEST PROOF OF 'LAB RAT' TREATMENT HERE )
