Huxley’s House of Veterinary ‘Teaching’ Horrors: OIA Asks Who Authorises Massey's Lab Rat Use of Private Clients’ Pets?
Jordan Kelly • 4 June 2026

Come Clean, Massey Veterinary School Dean Jon Huxley:

Clients Have NO Idea You're Using Their Pets for Unethical, Unauthorised, Lethal Student Activities and Filming

EXHIBIT A: THE FILM SET . . . Conversion of my “property” for teaching resources: Unauthorised Conversion of Property & Breach of Bailment (Common Law); Illegal Manipulation for Teaching (Animal Welfare Act 1999, S83)

"SELFIE-MODE" FILMING OF PATIENT COLLAPSE

10:49 AM: IMG_9885 captures footage recorded via a front-facing (selfie) camera. For professionals, the use of a handheld selfie camera indicates a non-medical filming priority over ICU stabilisation. For the public, it documents the patient being utilised as an instructional prop during the onset of a severe pharmacological (drug-induced) crisis. Sharp, rectangular redactions suggest hidden fixed objects, likely monitor or pump displays. This confirms secondary data sources were visible while the patient was an instructional prop, proving the "missing" logs (ref. EXHIBIT B) were a human choice to omit data, not a technical failure.

EPISTAXIS: NASAL BLEEDING CONSISTENT WITH PHARMACOLOGICAL OVERDOSE CASCADE

Note the reddish-brown staining around Harry's muzzle and nasal area. Independent AI analysis assessed this as consistent with epistaxis - nasal bleeding - potentially caused by cardiovascular or vascular stress resulting from the pharmacological cascade of repeated sedative overdosing.

Vice-Like Cephalic Restraint: Compromising A Sedated Patient for Video Production

This shot captures the aggressive cephalic restraint used to force Harry’s head into a fixed position for the camera. In a patient suffering from a 750% pharmacological overdose, this vice-like grip is not a clinical necessity; it is a mechanical obstruction. By forcibly extending the neck and pinning the jaw while the patient’s protective reflexes are suppressed by sedation, the staff are actively compromising the airway and risking critical respiratory failure simply to ensure a stable shot for video footage.

HARDWARE AVAILABILITY DURING DATA GAP

11:00 AM: IMG_9893 shows an active SurgiVet monitor, gas lines, and staff (redacted) present. This confirms hardware and personnel were available during Harry's pharmacological (drug-induced) crisis. Thus, the missing logs (Ref: Exhibit B) represent a human decision to either neglect to monitor vitals or to omit data, not a technical failure.

FORCED MOBILITY UNDER SEDATION

10:41 AM: IMG_9882 captures the patient struggling to maintain posture while heavily sedated. For the public, this documents the distress of forced movement. For veterinary professionals, it records the decision to exercise a physiologically unstable patient - prioritising instructional demonstration over standard clinical recovery protocols.

FORCED OCULAR EXPOSURE DURING CRISIS

10:56 AM: Depicts physical pressure being exerted on the patient’s head to force the eye open for an extreme close-up (macro) recording. This occurred during active physiological collapse. For the public, it shows a pet being physically handled as a film subject rather than receiving emergency care. For professionals, it confirms the stabilisation of a collapsing patient was abandoned to facilitate an instructional "money shot".

HIGH-RISK POSITIONING 'DISPLAY PIECE'

10:55 AM: This depicts a sedated, unstable patient being manually suspended in the air. For the public, this is "property conversion" - a pet treated as an instructional display piece. For professionals, suspending an ataxic, drugged patient high in the air is a gross violation of handling protocols, risking physical injury and respiratory distress solely to facilitate camera framing.

STAFF PROXIMITY DURING DATA OMISSION

10:46 AM: This video still shot captures a staff member (redacted) standing directly over the patient while holding an iPhone to film. For the public, it shows a pet unable to hold his own head up being used for a "shoot". For professionals, it is definitive proof that a human operator was physically at the monitor's side during the missing log period (ref. EXHIBIT B), confirming that the lack of data was a failure of clinical conduct, not a failure of technology.

Withholding Postural Support of Blind, Sedated Dog for Production Value

This still documents Harry - blind, unco-ordinated, and in a state of 750% pharmacological overdose - being forced to "circle" for the camera. Harry is left unsupported on a clinical floor to provide "demonstration" footage. Every vet student knows that a stumbling, overdosed patient needs a "sling" or other physical support. This photo proves they withheld that support to get a "better shot" of his unco-ordinated movement.

What follows is the full text of an Official Information Act request submitted to Massey University today, June 4, 2026 – the statutory framework underpinning each question having been established through six months of forensic investigation, published documentation, and independent analysis.


Massey University has 20 working days to respond. Their response – or non-response – will be published here.


This OIA has been formally forwarded for the awareness of the Veterinary Council of New Zealand, as the statutory regulator of the veterinary profession in New Zealand and the body mandated to investigate complaints against registered veterinarians; the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (UK), as an international accreditor of Massey University's veterinary program and the body whose own Senior Standards and Advice Officer has acknowledged in writing that Massey's systematic redaction of clinical staff identities breaches all accepted international standards; the American Veterinary Medical Association, as a second international accreditor of Massey University's veterinary program; and the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council, as the third international accreditor of Massey University's veterinary program . . . all four of which have now received multiple rounds of detailed correspondence documenting the conduct this OIA addresses, but none of which have taken any meaningful action in response.

This official statutory request is issued directly in relation to the documented clinical record of the private patient Harry Kelly, admitted to Massey University's Companion Animal Hospital on November 30 / December 1, 2025.

 

A comprehensive clinical and systemic analysis of the hospital's invoicing data, medical logs, and post-admission records has revealed an un-indicated medication cascade and severe over-sedation that did not align with any active neurological or structural brain pathology.

 

Under New Zealand statutory frameworks – including the Animal Welfare Act 1999, the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997, and the Veterinary Council of New Zealand Code of Professional Conduct – utilising a privately-owned animal for clinical demonstration, student training, or non-indicated pharmaceutical protocols outside of explicit therapeutic necessity crosses directly into regulated territory and requires both mandatory institutional oversight and owner consent.

 

The following core investigative records form the explicit evidentiary basis for this inquiry: (NB: These are part of a broader and even more comprehensive base of published documentation.)

 





Pursuant to the Official Information Act 1982, and referencing the investigative evidence linked above, Massey University is required to provide definitive answers to the following:


 1. Informed Consent Protocol & Its Application by the CAH in the Harry Kelly Case

 

The exact operational protocol or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that governs the obtaining of specific, explicit, written owner consent for the use of a private patient in student teaching activities, clinical demonstrations, or video productions – distinct from and beyond any general teaching hospital disclosure clause contained in standard admission forms.

 

This request specifically includes whether Massey University's own protocols require additional specific consent where an owner has previously and repeatedly stated, verbally, in writing and on admission documentation, that their animal is not to be used as a teaching aid, training tool, or the subject of any student activity – as Harry Kelly's owner had documented and verbally stated on multiple prior occasions.

 

Please confirm whether any such specific consent was sought from, or provided by, Harry Kelly's owner for any student activity or video production conducted on, or with the use of, him during his November/December 2025 admission.

 

2. Animal Ethics Committee Registrations for Harry Kelly

 

All internal registry entries, meeting minutes, approvals, or project logs demonstrating whether Harry Kelly was at any time during his November/December 2025 admission registered, listed, or utilised as a live subject under an active Massey University Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) approved protocol for research, testing, teaching, or data collection.

 

3. Divergence from Clinical Necessity in Harry Kelly's Care

 

The specific institutional directive, clinical justification worksheet, or authorisation that legally permitted Companion Animal Hospital or ICU staff to transition Harry Kelly's medical management – including his documented sedation levels and drug administration cascades – away from direct therapeutic welfare and into a non-indicated clinical protocol without notifying or obtaining the consent of his owner.

 

4. IV Disconnection Authorisation for Harry Kelly

 

Whether the disconnection of Harry Kelly's IV rehydration fluids during his November/December 2025 admission was documented, clinically justified, and authorised by a supervising clinician – and if so, what clinical justification was recorded, who authorised it, and at what time it occurred relative to the documented sedation administrations.

 

5. Internal Audit, Review and Billing Records for Harry Kelly

 

All internal correspondence, emails, clinical review notes, handwritten meeting minutes, incident reports, or file notes held by the School of Veterinary Science, the Companion Animal Hospital Executive / Management or other parties, or individual ICU staff, regarding the specific drug administrations, medication discrepancies, over-sedation concerns, or invoicing codes applied to Harry Kelly in November/December 2025.

 

If no formal audit report exists, this request explicitly includes all informal communications, email strings, team debriefs, or draft reviews concerning these billing and clinical discrepancies.

 

6. Regulatory Breach and Risk Communications

 

All communications, emails, internal memos, legal counsel briefings, and risk-assessment notes exchanged within the University – including but not limited to the Veterinary School Executive / Management, the Companion Animal Hospital Clinical Director and Practice Manager, and University Risk and Legal teams – or with any external regulatory, statutory, or insurance bodies or the like, concerning potential, alleged, or established compliance breaches under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997, or the VCNZ Code of Professional Conduct, or other legal concerns held, regarding the case file of Harry Kelly.

 

This request explicitly includes any internal correspondence discussing or reacting to the publisher's public exposures, Privacy Act and Official Information Act requests, or statutory (or intended statutory, for example those awaiting Massey’s / VCNZ’s release of clinician identities to enable) complaints regarding this matter.

 

I request a response within 20 working days as required by the Act.

 

Sincerely
Jordan Kelly

Compassion vs Cruelty . . . Spot the Difference

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.

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.
