The mother lets her little boy get away with trying to kill people with rocks--including a neighbor on a horse (who then gives the angry boy what he wants to the mom's delight), but she threatens to corporal punishment for him showing her a frog. Her priorities are out clearly out of whack. I'm probably going to get some downvotes with the free-range culture here, but her little boys go out hunting, sleep outside, jump into wild waters, and try to capture wild hogs and a protective mother cow, while they border nations that's are conflict with the US at the time, and they are deep in wolf and bear territory. Sorry but they don't have the brain and body development to handle these things on their own and it shows because the dog has to pick up the slack. They don't even have some kind of buddy system or curfew.

No, but a creepy neighbor keeps showing up while the woman's husband is away on a cattle drive. He claims he's there to protect her and the children, but he has little respect for them. His daughter wants the main boy to fall in love with him and cries when he doesn't fawn over her gift.

A man seems to have trouble getting over his laziness, and it's implied that the other men don't want to be around him because of it. The youngest boy is agressive and entitled throughout the movie, and the mom seems helpless with trying to control it.

A wolf and dog fight. The dog also encounters other wild animals and they react intensely with each other. It's hard to imagine that this was perfectly humane.

Old Yeller is injured and spends his time whimpering in a cave during his recovery. It's also fairly disturbing to hear that the mother cow won't nurse due to rabies and that the calf has nothing to eat.

People are clearly going through and marking yes on everything out of spite for the movie, there's no rape whatsoever. Take these yesses with a grain of salt please.

Meat is hung up right in front of a dog's face, if he licks it he'll be executed. Thankfully the dog survives the test.

Getting "hyrophobia" (they don't use the term rabies) causes the animals to act abnormal and lose their personality, so it feels like possession, just not by a spirit but a virus.

No, they don't have the incarceration tab yet on this one, but do on other movies--so I'll put it here: the dog is locked up in a wooden cage for a month, it's either that or immediate execution.

We don't know why the little boy is so violent. The canines in this movie react violently due to rabies.

There are lots of scary moments and scared faces in this movie as they react to frontier dangers. It's hard to tell what's going on internally.

You don't see it, but a cow has a calf, and later won't nurse it. We also hear that old yeller has fathered some puppies, and they show up later and are rejected.

This is just after the civil war in the south, so you can definitely ignore any yesses that would not be present in this time period.
