Tracking Devices for Dogs

A company in a small town just north of our home city in Sweden has received a large order from France on devices for electonically tracking dogs. The company normally manufactures similar devices for wild animals. I am concerned about devices like this. If you would manufacture and sell similar devices for humans, you would be widely critizised for invading privacy. However, similar devices for dogs does not seem to make people cry about invasion of privacy for the dogs. I am concerned about such privacy, however. Are not dogs worthy of our privacy, to some extent? I believe we are.
