Cooney received a bachelor's degree in Non-Violence Studies from Hofstra University in 2003. A 2005 Wall Street Journal article says that "Last year, armed FBI agents raided the home of one of Hugs for Puppies' key organizers, Nick Cooney, a 24-year-old nutrition educator who shares his house with seven others." The article went on to say "Hugs for Puppies, Mr. Cooney and SHAC were named in a preliminary injunction issued in April by a New Jersey superior court judge in a lawsuit filed in the chancery division of New Jersey superior court in Bergen County." And the article states that "In previous interviews, Mr. Cooney has maintained his innocence on this and other charges brought against him." In 2007, Cooney was one of Vegan Outreach's top leafleters in their Adopt A College campaign.〔 Cooney is one of several people who provided information used in the writing of the book ''Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism'' (2008) by Mark Hawthorne. Cooney's work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, TIME magazine, National Public Radio, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Z Magazine and he has lectured throughout the United States and Europe on how to create social change. ==See also== *Animal protectionism *Veganism 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nick Cooney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
