Seems silly that youve aptly identified the LP opposition of government forcing companies to label food, while uncertain that they would also reject government forcing farmers to raise food a certain way.
Does that come as a surprise?
All of those quotes I cited previously are published here:
https://dev.ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_2,_Standards_for_Confining_Farm_Animals_(2008)
(Link down now but perhaps it will be back up by the time you read it.)
Specifically, here is a reference that discusses "proposition 2 was opposed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the Libertarian Party of California, the Oakland Tribune, the Sacramento Bee , the Orange County Register , and the San Diego Union Tribune."

If you need exact prop2 quotes then check out bibliography from the first link.
It boils down to "government shouldn't interfere with free market."
Which, again, is probably correct , but I digress...
Apple, and the rest of the conglomerate monopolies (propped up by soulless libertarians), can suck a giant dick.

Compelled speech is not the same thing as compelled respect of basic rights. You're trying to argue that using violence to force somebody to say something you want them to say is the same as using violence to force someone not to torture others. If you really believe that you have a muddled mind that needs a lot of work. Be careful, that kinds of inability to grasp fundamental principles leads to progressivism.

I can't find any quotes from the libertarian party.

You mean in the article where they write:
There are many ways human beings can be guilty of mistreating animals. Perhaps even the law should make some provisions to ensure that wanton torture and mistreatment of animals are minimized.
I see you glossed right over the part where I quoted "proposition 2 was opposed by ... the Libertarian Party of California, ..."
Initially I suspected you were being silly. Now I know you are being intellectually dishonest.
Nobody argued that the libertarian party didn't oppose the measure.

I didn't claim they weren't opposed. I challenged you to support your allegations about the official statements of the Libertarian Party. You have thus far declined to do so.
Now I know you are being intellectually dishonest.
It's impossible to be dishonest without making a claim. I have not made any claims.
