Robert William Pickton of Vancouver, BC is on trial for 6 of the 49 women he killed. He was looking for his next victim to make it an even 50 when he was apprehended. He was a successful Pig Farmer and had all the tools he needed to torture and kill, then cut up and dispose of his victims. Didn't know about this until today, but its an excellent reason 'not' to eat pork anymore....

So glad I don't eat pork. How sad for all his victims and their families. What sick people there are in this world.

He said when asked by the court appointed psychiatrist what made him do it, he supposedly said, "he was tired of torturing and killing the pigs, that their squeeling from pain gave him a headache."

Oh my word. This sounds like a story someone made up.

This is all too sick! How awful!

How depraved! Its hard to imagine how far the human mind can sink into evil. Now, there's one I personally wouldn't hold any hope out for his salvation...
But then, again, I'm not God.

How horrible for the mothers and fathers of these women. I have to ask "why?" would it be allowed that these people would have to suffer in this way and then be humiiiated even in death by being fed to pigs.

But then, abortion tortures, rips and tears a human soul to pieces then discards their remains in a trash bin like medical waste...I guess there's not much difference other than there have been millions of babies tortured and killed in this fashion not a mere 49 or 50, and the serial killers are still walking free and unapprehended.

Dianne haven't you ever heard the saying "truth is stranger than fiction." I bet his victims and their familys wished it was something someone made up.

Chatty,
I heard about this jerk on the news. Serial killers are beyond comprehension. There's a bike path killer in our area, authorities arrested recently. It took them over 20 years to get him. Thank God for DNA. Anybody that could hurt another living creature is so far out there, you can't even imagine it. What a bummer!!!!

gimster, I alwsy think of the families too. Can you imagine beign the mother of htese sick people? Mothers are not always to be blamed.

yea mums or parents are all too easily the target for blame for kids behaving strangly....Acknologing the effect up-bringing has on kids and thats its a strong influencial force into adult life....but still as adults we have responcibility not to directly live out or act out on our younger life teachings.....Personal development always a great thing and we all can change....

sorry wonder off a bit their, Is or has this man been diagnosed. I know when the behaviours way off the bat its easy to think yea they gotta be mad to do that...but has he a mebntal illness (not sure if all people who behave like this are mentally ill allthough its hard to think of them being sane)

just sometimes i worrie that we get the idea that mental illness always equates with thse types of very sick behaviours...werrass the majority of those with mentall unwellness wouldn't behavie like this....

Funny wee thing but i always watch people with animals and how they behave with them....if they crule to animals then i can't help but think if they could get away with it then thats how theyd treat people too....just one of those silly we private therioes iv formed about peps but it stands me in good stead. Anyway i get too cross at peeps that badly treat animals i wouldn't have them in my life anyway..
