Sheffield Animal Friends (SAF) have announced two more demos, as part of their efforts to close the greyhound track at the city's Owlerton Stadium.

The group have already held several demos outside the stadium, as well as street stalls in the city centre, to educate members of the public to boycott greyhound racing, and are appealing for more support to help them intensify their campaign.
