'Sociopathic' animal killer to be released on probation

[JLM]

I do have to question just why it was illegal for her to own a kitchen knife and if it is illegal for everyone? I also have to question how a judge can give an order not to own household items. I certainly don't think she is all there but this judge may have overstepped the boundaries of reality by denying her access to the internet, utensils & duct tape.

I think this is one of those cases where "you do what you gotta do", the onus should be on her, NOT the judge, she can make up her own mind about the extent of her freedom, the unsuspecting person on the street has to have the rights, not her, until she can prove she can abide by the laws of the country. This is NOT Romania!

Animal killer Kayla Bourque appeals pet ban

Bourque was released in January and banned from owning any animals for life





A B.C. woman who was convicted of torturing and killing animals and who admitted to wanting to kill homeless people is hoping to change her release conditions barring her from owning pets.

Kayla Bourque was convicted last year of causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to animals, wilfully and without lawful excuse killing animals, and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

She was released in January under a number of strict conditions, including a ban from owning any animals for life.

On Wednesday, Bourque's lawyer was at the B.C. Court of Appeal fighting to change that restriction.

"There have been cases where people have been banned from owning animals for up to 25 years and I have asked the court to look at those for an appropriate limitation," said Andrew Bonfield.

"We want her to be involved in mental health. We want her to be involved in lots of other things so that she can hopefully not end up with any problems in her future."

Bourque, a former criminology student at Simon Fraser University, has admitted to taking delight in killing animals and fantasizing about shooting homeless people. Several psychologists who interviewed Bourque found she showed no remorse or insight into her crimes.

The Court of Appeal is not expected to rule on the restrictions until October.

She doesn't have to accept the order. She can always choose Secure Door #2.

A person like that can never be trusted where any valuable life is concerned.

She's not allowed to have anyone in her home from 6 pm to 6 am and anyone who does visit must be made fully aware of the charges she pleaded guilty to and their circumstances.

She can't associate with anyone under the age of 18 or possess computer software to access the internet. MacLean also forbade her from accessing social networking sites or possessing duct tape, hypodermic needles or knives.

The probation order will be reviewed in three months after her release from custody. MacLean also banned Bourque from owning any animals for life.....

And who will be watching her 24/7? She will graduate from animals to humans . Not all who abuse animals become serial killers but all serial killers started by abusing animals.

Agreed. She had better lose.

How does letting this nutbar loose protect society? Will she have to kill a few people before the bleeding hearts permit her to be locked up for good?

The bleeding hearts have nothing to do with it. The ponalaties for killing animals are pretty lenient, and you can't lock people up for pre-crimes.

Hope somebody is keeping an eye on her though. There is no cure for sociopathy. She will abuse animals--and probably people--again if provided with an opportunity. She's wired wrong. She can't help it.

Maybe a lobotomy would help, if not no harm done!

This was the decision of one judge, not a bunch of "bleeding hearts." He followed the law and cant really do anything else. To put her back she needs to violate parole, re-offend or we have to change the laws.
