Yes it is. You may not like it, but as long as they aren't inbreeding them then it's every bit as perpetuating the species as it would be if the cats were mating in the wild.
No it isn't, and it has nothing to do with me liking it or disliking it.
What perpetuates the species is ongoing procreation. When Joe or Doc sells to someone who keeps a tiger in their backyard, that tiger isn't procreating.
In the wild, the tigers born go on to have their own offspring. That perpetuates the species. Domestically, it only happens if the tiger goes to a facility set up to allow for continued breeding over generations.
That's not what Joe and Doc do. They just sell to anyone with money. You don't perpetuate the species, you get a lot of people with a tiger in their yards that just live out their lifespan there.

So they are selling them only to those not mating them?
C'mon man.
There wouldn't be so many if Doc and Joe were the only ones doing it and there weren't others doing it as well. Doing it on a continual basis like they have been requires fresh DNA from time to time to keep the lines from developing genetic abnormalities due to inbreeding.
That their cats are procreating and some of those offspring themselves are procreated and so on, that's perpetuation of the species.
