I think the following extracts from the website explain it all. It is to make you stop and think of what hideous things humans are capable of inflicting on this earth, it is to create a debate on how far we we can go before we ruin the earth with our so called designs
To dismiss Genpets as a 'hoax' would be to completely miss the point. The spirit of art is to create an illusion. Genpets is designed 'as is' to help the viewer ponder the idea a bit longer
The question surrounding bioengineering is not in it's positive or negative ramifications, or where it can take us; it is whether or not we are responsible enough to go there
Imagine walking into a department store or any big box store, and while browsing an aisle you find a display where packages hang; which, at first glance, seem to contain large action figures. Upon closer inspection, you realize they are actually bizarre, altered, bipedal mammals sealed in a plastic bubble where they uneasily rest in some kind of induced hibernation.
A series of glowing and beeping heart monitors on the packages gives a hint that they are alive. The rising and falling of their chests as well as their occasional twitching, shaking and clawing, albeit limited by the tie-wraps, which keep them in place, confirms the life of these creatures. They are there, ready to take home and add to your life as the next entertainment gadget; bioengineered creatures, mass-produced, and pre-packaged for your convenience.

I don't believe the purpose of this site is to sell these creatures nor is it a hoax. But a site to make one think where research and technology of this nature could lead.
If you go to the About page (link at the bottom of page), there is a blurp at the bottom of the page telling us to stop and think. At the end of the blurp is the word (explanation) which is a link to pages about the site. If you read these pages I think you will better understand the purpose of the site.

I think it's a joke. You notice there is no place to send in money to order one of these things. And no list of stores where you can buy one. If they were really selling them the first thing you would see is the price.

OMG, that was possibly the most frightening and sickening thing I've ever seen! I cannot even imagine...that is completely crazy! Thanks, but I think I will stick to my cats and dogs and chickens and ducks and emu. There is just something...wrong...I can't put my finger on it...it just feels creepy!
