Original sentence: Animal rights activist Rod Coronado, who has had numerous legal problems stemming from his activism, got his start in activism with Sea Shepherd, where he participated in one of Sea Shepherd's best-known and most controversial actions, the scuttling of two ships from Iceland's whaling fleet while in port in 1986.As of 2005, Sea Shepherd's current priorities are a permanent patrol in the Galapagos Islands to protect sea tortoises and other marine wildlife, and a campaign against the 2005 seal hunt in Canada, which includes a boycott of Canadian seafood products.Corporate sponsors include Paul Mitchell Systems, Patagonia, and Bombardier Recreational Products (maker of Ski-doos, snowmobiles, and ATVs).Critics, however, including its targets consider Sea Shepherd to be operating outside the law, harassing their lawful fishing and resource extraction operations, and use political epithets such as "pirate" and "ecoterrorist" to refer to the organization.Sea Shepherd bases its actions on international maritime law enforcement under the United Nations charter.Sea Shepherd has also conducted an intense  campaign against Japanese high seas whaling and the Canadian sealing industry in particular.Sea Shepherd is more militant than Greenpeace; indeed, Paul Watson has since referred to Greenpeace as "The Avon ladies of the environmental movement"
