Tiger farms already exist in China.

Some rhinos have proven to be difficult to breed.

Why not have large scale farming of humans to meet demands for inexpensive labor and protect against the occasional genocide?

We already do.

Pretty sure that's called "urbanization".

Capitalism, various forms of fascism, and chattel slavery systems each are or include some variety of this, but more directed at the cheap labor issue than the genocide issue.

Because libertarianism takes as a fundamental tenant that each human owns his or her self.

There are plenty of libertarians who value the well-being of animals. Those and most libertarians would be in favor of boycotting those who abuse animals.

But what libertarianism isn't about is using physical force (which includes the state) as primary means to solve every problem in the world.
