VANCOUVER -- A Vancouver-area woman who was convicted of brutally killing animals and admitted to wanting to kill a homeless person can now leave her halfway house unescorted.
A court order issued Thursday means Kayla Bourque can leave the New Westminster, B.C., residence between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Thursdays but must wear a GPS tracking device and have permission from her parole officer.
Her lawyer, Andrew Bonfield, says the order is "not freedom," as Bourque is already living under numerous court conditions.
B.C.'s Ministry of Justice warned the public about Bourque's release from custody in September 2015, noting she was under 47 court-ordered conditions.
An earlier ruling from the B.C. Court of Appeal says Bourque told a fellow university student that she wanted to kill a homeless person and was in forensic studies to learn how to evade police.
Bourque has also pleaded guilty previously to charges of causing suffering and unlawfully killing animals, admitting to killing a family cat and dog between 2009 and 2010.

People that kill innocent animals clearly have mental problems. Jeffrey Dahmer was cruel to animals as a young man. The woman should be monitored closely or if she has family they should seek psychiatric help for her.

Absolutely, I see nothing in common between her and Omar.

I see the haters just can't help themselves. Gotta draw comparisons where comparisons don't fit.


Gotta be pretty sad to live life with that much hatred and fear.

Wants to kill for a silly theology/ideology. Wants to kill for sh!ts and giggles.

Can you see the common word?

I won't apologise for not liking people who want to kill for silly theologies/ideologies or sh!ts and giggles. And I still don't lock my doors at night.

I am sure, that for you, the comparison is valid. Makes it all the more sadder.

Would comparing you to Kayla and Khadr be a valid comparison?

Well, that would depend on what context. I am human like they are. I have a criminal record like both. Me and Khadr can make IED's and handle automatic weapons. I've killed lots and lots of animals.

So ya, I guess you could. The only difference being context. In the context used by DaS and I, we're correct in the comparison.

This woman scares the bejeebers out of me. The fact that we have absolutely no idea what has caused her psychopathy nor have any treatment for her. She is walking around across the bridge from me.

To have no ability to empathize...to understand that another feels things...to dismiss the knowledge like it's inconsequential. alien. so very alien.

Why are you worried about her when hundreds of jib rats are scurrying out side your door in whalley?

why must it always be one or the other with you?

Why the hate-on for drug addicts?

I should have love and respect for people who destroy their lives and the lives of those around them but have fear and disdain for a natural lunatic?

It's certainly not a topic I'm prepared to discuss (beat to death) at length, I just know for sure which of the two people mentioned I'd rather take my chances with one on one and it ain't her. I think there's a slim chance I could read Omar's mind, there's no way I'd even attempt to read what passes for her mind. Scary sh*t!

I think if you were closely connected to one, you'd change your thinking a bit. Believe me, there's no worse problem you can have with a person you love! That's the extent of my discussion of the issue.
