It is only mentioned that the sanchez familia kills bulls, although it is not shown in detail, there is also a scene of a butcher with a knife alongside pigs, the pigs are freed though

Not sure why anyone said no to this, Chakal, one of the antagonists tries to kill the town by setting off the bombs on him (he only kills himself though)

Not necessarily suicide, although, manolo is willingly bitten by a snake in order to be with maria ( after he proposed) also jackal sets bombs off in order to die along with the town, this is the closest to suicide the movie gets

Manolo temporarily dies but is revived. The director has expressed support for a poly ship involving him, Maria, and Channing Tatum's character. IDK if this is canon but in any case he doesn't die for real.
