Sherry Cask fell in her last race and is now 'retired'. That means she is dead, Greens say

According to ABC News Australia, Tasracing, which operates greyhound racing in Tasmania, is facing criticism from the Greens party over transparency in the sport. Videos posted on the racing body's website showcase races but don't show injuries and deaths. The Greens say dozens of dogs were injured or killed in racing events. The party points to examples like Sherry Cask, a greyhound who fell during her final race. She's now described on official records as 'retired,' but advocates say the term masks the reality that the dog is dead. The case raises questions about what racing fans see versus what actually happens on the track.
