Internal strife on the board of directors for the Aboriginal Trappers Federation of Canada has forced the organization to recently appoint an interim board and new responsibilities for their executive and membership.

According to a press release issued by the national organization, the chairman of the board, Saskatchewan's Sterling Brass, allegedly disrupted operations so a new board had to be appointed.

But with the new board in place, executive-dirctor Bob Stevenson says, "It is very hard to try to run an organization with any confidence when you have especially a dissident or

non-cooperative chairman.

"I am glad the board has now dealt with the matter so that we have no more appearances of infighting, can carry on with our fight against animal rights groups and not with each

other."
