THE KILLING OF HARRY KELLY:   
A Case Study in A Lethal Dose of Veterinary Malpractice & Malfeasance

FEBRUARY 24th UPDATE: 


FOLLOWING  NEW DISCOVERIES, THE LEGAL DESCRIPTOR APPLIED TO THIS MATTER HAS BEEN UPGRADED FROM MALPRACTICE TO ALSO INCLUDE MALFEASANCE, AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE OF EVEN GREATER CONCERN FOR  MASSEY UNIVERSITY'S NEWLY-INSTALLED VICE-CHANCELLOR, PIERRE VENTER, WHO HAS SO FAR ALSO STONEWALLED THE MATTER, IN FAVOUR OF THE INSTITUTION'S PREFERRED RESPONSE I.E. THE THREAT OF LEGAL ACTION IF I CONTINUE TO DISCLOSE DETAILS OF THE MATTER.


This is an introduction to the Series represented by this sequence of articles.


It represents ongoing coverage of a shameful multitude of malpractices and ethical compromises - all the way through to malfeasance - by staff and management of Massey University's Companion Animal Hospital . . . New Zealand's supposed 'gold standard' veterinary teaching hospital.


The malpractices included but were not limited to a falsified diagnosis and a coerced,highly unnecessary “euthanasia” (that was NOT a "euthanasia" but in reality a calculated, evidence-erasing, clinical killing) of a deeply loved pet . . . my own deeply loved and precious little Papillon, Harry.


In this ongoing Special Investigative Series, I lay out what will appear clearly as I posit that Harry’s clinical killing (it was NOT “euthanasia”) stemmed from a combination of clinical arrogance and what the hospital's ICU staff saw as the necessarily self-preserving destruction of evidence . . . with that evidence being Harry himself.


SEE LATEST UPDATE  HERE:  IT WAS ACTUALLY EVEN WORSE. IT WAS ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF A PRIVATE FEE-PAYING PATIENT FOR OPPORTUNISTIC UTILISATION AS A TRAINING TOOL FOR A SERIES OF STUDENT TEACHING VIDEOS, AFTER WHICH HE WAS TO BE DISPOSED OF BY SECURING HIS OWNER'S (MY) COERCED CONSENT FOR HIS "EUTHANASIA" UNDER THE GUISE OF EITHER A "NEUROLOGICAL EVENT" OR A SUDDEN NEUROLOGICAL "DECLINE".


This coverage is the forensic deep-dive investigation into Massey University’s supposed “premier” international veterinary teaching facility's actions . . . with accompanying articles on the numerous regulatory and industry veterinary code of professional conduct breaches, and the accompanying culture that facilitates them with, in the case of the catastrophic Harry Kelly outcome, seemingly complete unaccountability.
