“We’re not messing around anymore with poachers,” says Oregon Representative Ken Helm. “From now on, there’s going to be people watching.”![]()
Helm, a Democrat from Beaverton, co-chairs the Oregon House of Representatives Wildlife Caucus.![]()
He’s among a cohort of bipartisan lawmakers leading the state’s legislative charge against wildlife crime, which ramped up in 2020 with the formation of the Stop Poaching Campaign—a multi-pronged, state-funded effort to increase poaching prosecution rates and raise public awareness.![]()

Supported by several conservation groups and nonprofits, the Stop Poaching Campaign is a response to a worrying trend, with high-profile poaching busts, slaughtered wolves and so-called “thrill kills” on the rise.

PUP DEVELOPMENT![]()
Photo #1 - NEO-NATAL PERIOD - Wild-born pup born in mid-April 2022 (USFWS). Pups have dark fur, rounded heads and are unable to regulate their own body temperature. They are blind with closed eyes, deaf with small ears and a “pugged” nose with little, if any, sense of smell. They do, however, have a good sense of taste and touch. Movement is limited to a slow crawl, mainly with front legs. They will feed four or five times a day for periods of three to five minutes.![]()
Photo #2 - TRANSITIONAL PERIOD - Red wolf pup about 5 weeks old at the Museum of Life and Science, Durham, NC. The eyes are open and appear blue (lack of pigment) at 11-15 days, but their eyesight is not fully developed and pups cannot perceive forms until weeks later. Milk incisors are present at 15 days, and pups can eat small pieces of regurgitated meat. They begin to stand and walk, and their vocalizations include growls, whimpering and squeaks along with the first high-pitched attempts at howling.![]()
Photo #3 - SOCIALIZATION PERIOD - Pups at the den entrance at about 5 weeks at the Museum of Life and Science (Greg Dodge). Pups at this age begin appearing outside of the den and playing near the entrance. Ears begin to become erect at around 27 days and hearing improves significantly. Around 31 days the ears are erect but often with tips still flopping.
