A court ruling gives dog owners less privacy than their dogs... The ruling declared dog owner names and addresses can be made public but that the names of their dogs can’t be.

A lawsuit filed against a New Jersey city for refusing to turn over dog license data to a business owner for marketing has resulted in a strange state Supreme Court ruling that seemingly provides greater privacy rights to dogs than their human counterparts, privacy groups say.
This week the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in favor of handing over the names and addresses of dog owners in the city. But while the ruling gave short shrift to the privacy interests of human beings, it simultaneously declared that turning over the names and breeds of the dogs themselves would be taking things too far.
In the ruling the court justifies handing over the data by declaring that “owning a dog is, inherently, a public endeavor,” since dog owners take their beloved pups on “daily walks, grooming sessions, veterinarian visits,” “celebrate their animals on social media or bumper stickers,” and “enter their dogs into public shows.”
