Yes it's true. But it seems even more kid-friendly that Itchy and Scratchy.
 
They made a television series after the short episodes because the show was so popular. So the popularity of Happy Tree Friends is not dying.

It's ancient history to me. Yet, they're funnier and less boring than South Park.

Saw quite a few of these years back, on a show called Happy Tree Friends And Friends, where they'd show various animated shorts of different shows as well as Happy Tree Friends. Didn't find Happy Tree Friends very funny back then, and Petey and Jaydee (quite similar in style) was just lame, even worse. I found Angry Kid, an Aardman animation, quite good though.

Seen a few episodes, it was funny for two but did get kinda stale.
And no offense or horror or anything, just eh...kinda predictable quickly.
I did enjoy the various non word noises they make.

As the official website says, it is a show about cute, cuddly animals whose daily adventures always end up going horribly wrong. Depsite it's cute name and childish apperance, it is extremely violent. The show is inspired by the itchy and scratchy show in the simpsons. Here are some episodes:
