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'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.

I want regular people like you and me to be able to accomplish more good for the world with the limited amount of money or time we have to donate. Everyone one of us has the power to do an incredible amount of good for the world - literally saving lives, and sparing thousands of individuals from a life filled with suffering. But to do that, we need to make smart charity decisions. Unfortunately, we haven't been taught how to do that. We haven't been taught how to think about charity in a rigorous, results-oriented way. I want to help donors, volunteers, and non-profits get more results.
