Restore Soils and Souls: You Are Part of Change For Good!
To help regenerate our spirits, raise consciousness, reduce trauma for humans, non-humans and nature is the focus of Wildlands.
When we honor soils and souls, we honor our Self. What we do to others, we do to ourselves. The principle is the same whether it be our behaviors towards non-humans, nature, or humans.
Wildlands explores how to let go, take responsibility and replace social conditioning for a life aligned with Self-Love and Kindness. To honor an Authentic Self means to live by a Higher Law in alignment with the deepest values of Love, Compassion and Empathy. When we live with ethical inner principles, we serve to make our lives and the world a better place.
Let go, trust, faith, patience, and surrender…
Seek and You Shall Find
We are living in times of great opportunity to Know Thyself. When we understand Who AM I, life is lived as an agent to transform negatives into a positive. Change is constant. We are Powerful and Rightful to Speak for Innocence. It is time for nature, humans and non-humans to live peacefully upon the land, air, water and soil as souls who are alive for a purpose and have a job to do in our ecosystem. When we honor soils and souls, we honor our Self.
We have been wrongfully taught to give our authority to others and allow them to power over us. The enslaved and dependent become trespassers who must be controlled. In fact, most humans are children fighting with one another, making up their agendas, laws and rules to give false rights to harm others. To grow up means to accept our duty as a true public servant to reduce and remedy harms, uphold Higher Laws, especially for innocent beings, such as non-humans.
The Way
Each one of us has a duty to aid, to maintain, or regain well-being. We do so when we take responsibility for our Self and claim Alignment with Higher Law. Our natural state is to be peaceful. Empowerment is to live precisely, a True Spiritual Life. It is our duty to clear emotional and belief patterns to live in accordance with Higher Law and be the way for our world. I AM to Express and Uphold a Higher Law. Your duty is to Express and Uphold a Higher Law. Our duty is to remedy conflicts and restore soils and souls- that is Forgiveness. When we remove dishonor, we give others the chance to remove all controversy, which remedies trespasses. It is time for us to honor Laws that Govern Principles, Universal Laws that Govern Reality, and Govern the Soils and Souls with Love. It is time for each of us to be One Expression of God’s Law, a Higher Law.
When we honor soils and souls, we honor our Self.
Wildlands “Restoring Soils and Souls, Healing the Land, Heals People” talks with trailblazer, Wayne Pacelle, Founder, Animal Wellness Action, a non-profit who leads the pack to reduce harms.
Animal Wellness Action's (AWA) work helps guide Society’s outer principles: the laws, rules and policies that govern our world regarding animals.
Animal Wellness Action: Helping Animals Helps Us All
Concern for animals is important in our society. When we address issues of human mistreatment of animals, we reduce the quotient of suffering on a large scale. The work of Animal Wellness Action (AWA) has practical value for animals. Animals and their welfare are our equals when it comes to suffering. We recognize that every person matters. It is true for animals- their lives matter as much to them as it does to us.
The Founder of AWA, Wayne Pacelle became involved with animal welfare in the mid to late 1980’s, while studying at Yale. As a student, he created campaigns to raise awareness regarding the fur industry, animal testing, animal farming, spay-neuter, as well as organized events to feature adoption speakers and raise awareness on all issues for animals. What he learned was that more political action was needed to reduce harm to animals because of our institutional, large scale legal systems for testing, including drug testing. It is very difficult to convince every person to be an animal advocate, and rescuing our way to reduce problems is not sustainable. More action was needed on a large societal scale.
Animal Wellness Action Goes to Washington
Public policy governs human conduct. Anti-cruelty laws have been around for 150-180 years. The problems are applying anti-cruelty laws because the notion of cruelty to animals are norms. The direct link between animal cruelty and violence toward people is now widely recognized.
AWA was founded to help to relieve suffering by helping to get better laws to reduce harms. Society needs to scale up animal protection in law making to shield animals. To take one example, a farm-animal protection law known as Prop 12 in CA has the potential to protect millions of animals in US.
Most humans want to end animal abuse.
“To grow up means to accept our duty as a true public servant to reduce and remedy harms, uphold Higher Laws, especially for innocent beings, such as non-humans, children and nature.”- Robin Motzer, Wildlands “Restoring Soils and Souls”
Did you know that non-humans are suffering in labs, roadside zoos, puppy mills, some medical schools, are targets for trophy hunters, exported as food in horrid conditions, are enslaved in big agriculture factories, and are in many other places you may never know existed? Read remarks on Signing the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, a bipartisan win for non-humans in 2019.
Sentient beings “live” in factories is an oxymoron. Would you want to live in a factory? Why are we allowing this cruelty? We have a responsibility to honor the dignity of God's creation.
Did you know that animal testing has been mandated in our laws?
Changing mandates saves thousands of animals, and has the potential to save millions of animals’ lives.
In 2021-2022, the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 eliminated a mandate in the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938 for animal testing for all new drug development protocols. It is the most consequential law relating to animal testing since the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act of 1966. The new law will allow the use of 21st-century drug screening methods grounded on human biology, such as organ-on-a-chip tools and artificial intelligence. Changing the laws and norms of society where laws build on one another, scales up animal protection.
Animal Wellness Action (AWA) is on cusp of stopping export to Canada and Mexico and closing the chapter so all horses are no longer slaughtered for human consumption, pet food, or export food to other Countries. Americans strongly oppose horse slaughter. Animal Wellness Action successfully passed an amendment through the U.S. House to achieve a ban on the transport of all equines for the purposes of slaughter in July.
Working with partner organizations such as GREY2K USA, AWA has helped to reduce the number of tracks from 60 to 2 greyhound tracks.
Kangaroos Are Not Shoes
Corporate industry owns animals, forests are destroyed, and sourcing of wild animals for products are the norm. In 2020, the Kangaroos Are Not Shoes campaign was created to convince athletic organizations to stop sourcing wildlife. Since the launch of AWA’s campaign, four out of five of the biggest athletic shoe brands have agreed to stop sourcing skins from kangaroos for their soccer shoes; these companies sold their shoe models to soccer enthusiasts in 200 nations. Two million kangaroos per year were killed to make shoes. Today, shoes are manufactured with human made materials. AWA surveyed athletes and proved that 95% major soccer players (World Cup report) had moved away from kangaroo shoes. Adidas is the hold out- and still support R &D programs and animal testing.

“Live with moral alertness and engage with our larger human family. There are a small number of people who force moral issues. Animal advocates really care about animals and don’t support cruelty, are proactive. Ask people to stand up for animals and live humanely for them.” - Wayne Pacelle

This is what I carry in my heart:
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
― Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod
