In fact we are told he was raised to be a bird watcher by his parents, or one of them, perhaps his father. This means his ornithology is deeply engrained supporting the idea that he is very motivated – hence his bizarre behavior.
Example of his comments – this is a tiny section of one he made today:
Destroying cats is neither hating cats nor a fear of cats. I had to LEGALLY shoot and bury literally hundreds of these invasive species vermin to stop them from gutting-alive and skinning-alive the last of the native wildlife on my lands. (true story) Apparently, gutting alive and skinning alive animals with your vermin cats is perfectly acceptable to an animal torturing c_nt like you.
Why do mentally-unbalanced and psychotic cat-advocates……
His photograph and name came to light thanks to Dee, who spotted the name and the picture amongst comments below an article on an online newspaper.
I’m not sure why the photograph was taken. The photo shows an angry, disgruntled man, which fits the Woody profile. It may have been taken by the police in preparation for a criminal trial. Jim Stevenson shot a cat in Galveston in November 2006.
It happened on the toll bridge at San Luis Pass, Galveston County. He was arrested and a .22 caliber rifle was discovered in a white van he was driving. The rifle was fitted with a scope. This does sound like Woodsman to me because he has frequently admitted to shooting cats. He has also admitted to owning a .22 calibre rifle.
Stevenson faced a possible sentence of two years in prison for shooting this feral cat. The cat had been stalking a piping plover (a shorebird). Stevenson was tried but the jury could not make up their minds (hung jury) and he was not convicted.
This story fits in nicely with what we know of Woodsman from what he has stated himself in many comments.
Please see the comments for more photos and a flavour of Jim’s rants
On another occasion, I think it was in November 2007, Stevenson claimed that someone tried to shoot him. Stevenson says that he was spending a quiet Wednesday evening at home alone. After dark he went to his car to pick up an expensive telescope (to find out where those evil feral cats are!). As he was leaving his porch a bullet shattered the glass door where he had just been. Stevenson scrambled inside and dialled 911.
Stevenson said that he had to stay in a hotel that night for his own safety. The police dropped the investigation because, I suspect, they could not find sufficient evidence to support Stevenson’s story. Apparently their leading suspect was Stevenson himself.
It seems that Stevenson’s work includes guided tours to birding hot spots such as Costa Rica. I’m not sure but perhaps all his work involves ornithology. He appears to have lived in Galveston County but Dee informed me that he now lives around Tallahassee in Florida.
That’s it for the time being. I believe this is Woody. What do you think? Why hasn’t someone asked the police to investigate? Shouldn’t someone in the US inform the police on the basis that he harasses people on the internet? In the UK, it is a crime.
Woody may well comment. I’ll let him this time but be prepared for the usual monstrous trolling rants. Woody has therapy (he needs it).
Notes:
1. Cats don’t decimate bird populations.
2. I believe feral cat populations need controlling. Any sensible person would support that but not in the way Stevenson advocates. That is my problem with him: his cat killing (illegal despite what he says) and his vile trolling.
My opinion is cemented.
Jimmy is Woody.
Even his words as far back as 2006 are the same.
I think it’s amazing that Ruth AKA’s poster portrayal of Uggawoody looks exactly like him.
Well done Dee for unveiling Woody.
I wish we had pictures of him in his loin cloth and carrying his club instead of seeing only his face with its cold cold eyes.
I really think my caricatures of him were much better looking 😉
He calls us worse than muck for loving cats and writing about them, for sharing photos and worrying about their welfare, how ironic that he himself is obsessed with birds!
What a pity whoever shot at him that time didn’t hit the target 😉
I’m loving that every comment he makes here is helping to raise money for the June donation to help a cat charity, so he isn’t entirely a waste of space, just 99% so.
Ruth, I think we should treat neutrally and in a fun way because he’ll hate that! He just wants to wind us up. You poster of him which I have uploaded to these comments portrays him very accurately 😉 This is the link to the larger version.
See, my Woody on the poster IS much better looking than he is in the photos of him above lol lol
lol 🙂
Lolsm very true, Had a good laugh over that. It’s really sad that someone can have such hatred towards cats. So, has he been like since then 2006? How long can he keep that up, that’s almost 8 Years using all that energy must get tiring after awhile. I sure would be utterly exhausted.
lol yes it must be hard work being so horrible 😉
Yea, it sounds like it, a bit depressing reading all this negative stuff.
Hey Ruth, PM me on Facebook with a body and I’ll add Woody’s head to it 🙂
lol will do that later Elisa x
Here is Uggawoody – just for Jim’s amusement….
See the kitty looking at the camera? His name is Oozy. And he’ll bite off your toes in a heartbeat. Fingers too…
Took this of some of the kids last night
cute feeding time at the cat house lol
Beautiful cats 🙂
Love it, Elisa!
Woody my father loved birds. He used to try to help them live if he found an injured one. He had photos of the birds he helped and loved in a little album. His love of birds and my love of animals and cats is the strongest thing which connected us. Birds have a special place in my heart for that reason. He knew cats were a threat to his birds but he had birdfeeders in places the cats couldn’t get near them and the cats knew the no go areas. I could still hang out with the cats and he could sit with his birds 15 meters away. It happened as such a number of times. So I don’t think all the hate is necessary. I couldn’t possibly hate birds or bird people for that fact alone.
But you kill cats and hate with such insanity. You deserve every bad word and thing which comes your way. You must be incredibly unhappy.
You need to grow up and make an effort to get along and find peace with the world, including all parts of it, even the most challeging. It’s great that you love birds. So much better than so many other things. It’s just incredible where you have ended up in relation to the rest of the world. Sad really. Dissapointing no doubt for you. But your anger is disproportionate. I would suggest medication of some kind. It can be better to take something to calm you down than to not take it. So you might consider looking into that with you doctor.
The fact that after this article you posted one of your classic diatribes for all to see as a specimen, as an example, the piece de resistance, after being outed, means you have literally not a shred of self control. You shoot cats. You are on the ‘danger to yourself and others’ borderline. You narrowly escaped conviction. And still you troll like a boss.
When you die, you know what will happen. Nothing. Nothing at all. Because nobody loves you. It serves you right for engaging with so much hate. The birds don’t need you, that’s for sure. You are giving them a bad name. You need to leave. Please just go, and take your cat killing .22 rifly and scope with you.
Well said, my father is the same a lover of the birds, didn’t change his views towards cats towards them, but would never go to such extremes that this man has gone. Its really sad that he’s continued on with this fight. All animals have a right to live freely without fear or worry.
One other huge error of every last one of you cat-licking morons. I’m not a birder. I destroyed all the cats on my lands to bring back the fox, opossum, raccoons, spring peepers, snakes, grouse, owls, hawks, etc., etc., etc. All the extra songbirds that eventually moved in are now just a huge bonus that I didn’t even know would live here, until I destroyed every last one of your lousy piece-of-sh** vermin cats.
I battled a cat-infestation for 15 YEARS. During which time YOUR vermin cats destroyed nearly every last native animal on my lands — from smallest of prey up to the top predators (starved-to-death by cats destroying all their foods). ALL of the smaller defenseless animals were gutted-alive or skinned-alive JUST for their piece-of-sh** cats’ play-toys. Or the native animals’ offspring all starved to death when the parents no longer returned to feed them. The problem became so bad that one animal even dragged her last 2 surviving offspring right to my door one day in the afternoon. She was so starved that she couldn’t even make milk for her cubs, taking the risk that even coming right to my door was better than starving to death. (She and her offspring survived under my care and went on to help repopulate my lands after every last cat was shot-dead and buried.)
I sadly listened to despicable FOOLS just like you TNR cat-lickers for 15 years — which only made the problem worse and worse — until there were nothing but your disease-infested cats left on my lands. Luckily I had a wise Sheriff who finally advised that I shoot every last cat and don’t stop until every last one is gone, collared or not. (As is the legal right of every land-owner in the whole USA.) In only 2 seasons I was able to be rid of every last one — HUNDREDS of your cats shot-dead and buried.
My wildlife has been recovering nicely for the last 4 years, better than I could have ever expected or hoped for. I get to hear owls hooting again every night, a sound I had not heard for 15 years because cats had destroyed all their food sources. One so tame it sits on a branch about 10 ft. from my door. It caught a vole I had disturbed one time walking through my yard, the owl landing nearly between my feet to capture the vole. It just looking straight-up at me all proud about its catch. I had to step over that owl to let it continue on in its proud moment. Hawks soar over my trees again. Chipmunks treat me to a chipmunk-chorus most every calm summer evening again, another sound I had not heard for 15 years. (Ever hear that sound? It sounds like a melodic wooden wind-chime coming from every direction in the forest as they call to each other, each clucking with their own unique note of their chorus before bedding-down. It’s an astounding experience to hear it just once in your life but I get to hear it most every calm warm day before sunset, sometimes in calm late mornings too before they take their noon nap.) A family of Gray Fox (one of the most beneficial native animals to grace the land) made a den near my home. I often see them bringing a clownish kit or two along with to patrol my yard for any edibles. Birds I had never seen in my life before now nest here. 2 of the species are warblers listed in the top-10-songbirds of the world. What an amazing sound to awaken to during warm months. If I wasn’t a birder before, these amazing animals are now convincing me otherwise.
The lifelong rewards for destroying and disposing of every last one of your invasive-species vermin cats on your lands are priceless and immeasurable.
I now feel nothing but pity for anyone who has cats around them. Their lives are dismally bereft and empty and they don’t even realize it.
Those animals were not starved to death. They moved if they had to. Cats only live where there are people. They don’t live out in the wild, so no bird is truly threatened by a cat if it can just leave. It’s very hard for cats to catch birds so they usually don’t.
It’s ridiculous to hear you deny that your are a ‘birder’ as you put it. Read your last rant (thanks for that by the way, this page is really coming off as a psychology lesson) and tell me you are not a bird person again. Bollocks. You are clearly a birder through and through, and you clearly have your idea about who is invading and who isn’t – and nobody is except for cats in your world.
The birds and animals on your land may like you. They may come close. They may land on your hand and eat from it – it’s possible they would miss you because you probably give them to eat. But they do not need you. They will be just fine without you. And birds in general will be much better off without you because you have the wrong effect on people. You are just giving ‘birders’ a terrible name and that in turn is bound to affect birds. By shooting cats, trolling, and generally being psychotically angry you have made hundreds of people reconsider cat haters and bird lovers in a new light. It is clear from what the birders do and say that there are some who a fairly bonkers. We gathered that here already, especially after your friend the crazy lady was caught poisoning cats outside somewhere in the shadows. We realised from the information they keep creating through biased extrapolations signified there was something wrong in the psyche of the bird people. But the fact that you, the most angry person on earth who says the most rude and ridiculous things and who hates and destroys so much, are a bird person is just too perfect for words. Really, it’s the greatest punchline there ever was.
Crazy cat lady thinks nut job bird man has too many screws loose to be able to function normally anymore. Nut job bird man hates crazy cat lady and wants to kill all her cats and her too probably. Nut job bird man is a danger to himself and others and even got arrested once for shooting cats.
Your writing is easy to spot and you have done plenty of it. Somebody should compile and archive it all for psychiatric or mental health purposes. One day when you go totally nuts and starts shooting cat ladies before turning the gun on yourself, people will be glad to have all your writings which could then be used as a warning for others. Trolls who write and show signs of your level of hate and anger would be easier to spot with you as a reference. For example if a troll was to use the word ‘moron’ several times in the same block of text then it would serve as a a warning to all that the troll may end up going crazy and shooting at people.
If you didn’t have a gun you would be out there trapping and poisoning – that’s why you encourage others by telling them how to do it on public forums. You are very cruel and in self denial about it probably. You probably feel like a super hero out there saving the animals from the evil monster cat. When you leave, nothing will happen. The cats have learned to stay away from your land. Animals adapt and survive. You are simply teaching them what a gun is. They will be much better now at avoiding you and your ilk. The very things you hate are becoming stronger because of you, and surviving better, and the very people you hate are huge in number, massive, giant, and you are making them dislike you and you are making people think twice about birders. It’s no wonder your life is probably full of disappointment. You have failed. You have an enemy you truly hate and you have stooped as low as one can go, in anger, because of it. Sad little potty mouthed man.
Yes, Marc.
Jimmy is a career serial killer of cats, without conscience. He’s so driven by his hatred and rage that he can’t even follow a comment here with anything but his copied and pasted spews that he has delivered over and over for years.
He is so grandiose that he believes that he is above the law. Not even a life sentence would change his thinking. He would blame cats for his dilemma.
The reality of his Galveston arrest fiasco got to him. There was outcry, and I believe that he was so afraid of being harmed that he faked an “attempted assault” to justify leaving the state with his tail between his legs. He left behind his status with the bird community, his business, and his followers. He has nothing left but his rage, which should be redirected toward himself now.
Exactly Marc, he will probably kill humans the way he kills cats etc. Very sad life indeed. Surely he has no conscious and very unfeeling. Sad life really.
Do you like playing angry birds? I like playing angry cats.
This looks really cosy and a nice place to play. These days I am taking Charlie outside with me to the back garden where I sit and work on the website while he potters around sniffing everything and chewing on grass. I’m convinced that it does him a lot of good. He’s just quite nervous about the outside which in some ways is a good thing because he does not want to go anywhere other than stay within about 30 paces of the front door.
That’s so lovely Michael, nice to see they get to go outside and enjoy some lovely sunshine and fresh air. The grass will be great for him as its natural, lovely fresh smells. Mine is always eating grass. Its great everyone getting better weather over there. 🙂
He does love it. He is just a bit of a scardy cat at the moment. Lovely sunshine here today.
It’s a lovely day here too, Walter has been up on the sun roof and Jozef in a nest in the grass.
I walked back from Kingston Upon Thames along the River Thames. It was gorgeous and hot! I sit out in the garden and work on the site sometimes.
That’s great to hear you’re all getting some lovely warmer weather 🙂 Getting wetter and colder here. Pleased the cats can go outside a bit over there. 🙂
This has literally made my entire month of June.
I’m so glad I came online today. I will be smiling for the rest of it that’s for sure.
Anger knows no bounds.
And yes woody, I do think you were fiddled by a priest or something when you were a kid. I don’t take any of that back.
Best. Article. Ever.
and here are my cats safely away from your birds – which I happen to like as well:
this time under a meg:
Marc, Is this your balcony because if it is, it looks fantastic?
Wow, love those photos how great, they look so happy and contented. Looks like you’re doing a lovely job to bring the outside in. So happy for your cats 🙂 It be a shame though when they have to fix your balcony 🙁 looks great anyway.
Oh, Marc!
What a wonderful area for your cats!
I love what looks like tennis netting. Good for enclosure and climbing too. It’s genius.
That is wonderful Marc, well done!
I am pleased that you like it. We can thank Dee for instigating this post because she discovered a photograph of Stevenson and then I dug around a bit more.
I think the whole thing rings true to me on the basis that he is an ornithologist which provides the motivation and the anger that he has.
Apparently his parents were also ornithologists so he was raised with the idea. This further indicates to me that Stevenson is Woodsman.
Made me laugh. Really did.
me too
That was an insult to the hundreds of children molested by priests. You think that’s funny? You think that’s worthy of a joke? You think that’s even appropriate to even say as an insult.
Hahahaha You must have been molested as a child… Seriously?
I know this guy might get on your nerves, but that does not mean you play on the pain of many people that were hurt by the actions of a trusted authority figure to make your point.
As disgusting as you may find woodsman, I find that comment, and the fact that some of you found it actually funny even more disgusting.
I take your point. But I don’t think it is an insult to kids who have been molested. It does not feel like it.
It is attacking priests. It supports the damage that priests have caused to many children.
But if it upset you, I apologise. I don’t want to upset people (except Woody).
What pedophile priests have done is shocking. The problem is the church – religion. They supported this behavior.
If you want disgusting you should read some of the insults Woody has written on here!
Lighten up, we wouldn’t laugh at the victims of child abuse, it was just a light hearted tongue in cheek comment made by Marc who you don’t even know, so don’t judge him ..or us…..
We miss Marc’s barbed tongue and gentle ways and generosity, don’t we.
Yes we do, I wish he would come back to us.
