Of course, "news" rarely represents the common activities of its readers. It is news because it is unusual.
For comparison, here's what I see above the fold at BBC News:
Death of Bin Laden
Six killed at syrian protests
US Employment up again
Deadly US drone raid in Pakistan
Ballesteros condition 'worsens' (brain tumor)
Morning business round-up
Delays 'did not cause 7/7 deaths'
SA minister's wife gets 12 years (drug trafficking)
Commodities' volatility continues
English voters punish Lib Dems
Sex and coffee 'trigger stroke'
Pink Floyd's star son admits demo violence
Stealth choppers (Bin Laden raid)
First Person (art by Picasso)
London bombed
The long war (Al-Quaeda again)
Presumably the lives of most BBC readers are not filled with death, violence, brain tumors and drug trafficking. Similarly, the lives of most furs are not filled with animal abuse or high-decibel purring, but apparently some feel such things are worth talking about.
Personally, I'd like to see more furry-specific reviews, interviews, profiles and the like (30 Furs Under 30? :-D).
Flayrah's readers are also its content-providers, and many see Flayrah as a place for "hard news" (e.g. law/crime).
