CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO CLOSE SHEFFIELD GREYHOUND TRACK

We are delighted to announce that Sheffield Animal Friends (SAF) have launched a campaign 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.

The next demos outside the stadium will be held this coming
Saturday (April 4th) starting at 6pm.

Please try to attend, especially if you live in or near the South Yorks area.

If you are intending to be there, or would like to help with future demos/street stalls,
