Mr Delforce is also the man behind Aussie Farms, which created a controversial \u201cattack map\u201d of farms across the country it accused of animal cruelty practices. Mr Delforce went head to head with National Farmers\u2019 Federation president Fiona Simpson during a heated debate on The Project when the map was released in January.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>He said the footage showed \u201cthe reality of modern farming&#8221; with tens of thousands of animals crammed into sheds and 20 sheds on a single property. \u201cThat reality is hidden,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople don\u2019t know what you can get away with when you\u2019re farming animals. Things like mutilation of piglets without anaesthetic, the grinding up of male chicks in the egg industry on their first day of life because they\u2019re useless to the industry. \u201cThese are standard practices that are perfectly legal.
