In "Old Grey Whistle Theft" it is strongly implied that one character may have encouraged another to use drugs. This is not shown on screen and is played for laughs

A sheep being psychologically abused (through rather absurd means) is a major plot point of "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep". In the same episode, Jack vomits and wipes his mouth with a live dog. Tom desires to brutally kill the rabbits in "The Plague", but Ted does not allow this. While it's not made clear what becomes of the rabbits after the episode, we are not led to believe that any harm comes to them.

Sort of -- a minor character is buried under a rock fall, but it's part of a running gag for the episode.

Ted deliberately throws himself down the stairs in "The Plague". Mrs Doyle falls down the stairs in "Are You Right There, Father Ted?", apparently curing her of a back injury. Jack falls down the stairs in "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep", but it's mostly conveyed through audio.

Larry Duff is seen falling a couple of times (once off a cliff, another down a ski slope), but he somehow always survives. Mrs Doyle is sometimes shown falling off the roof and out of windows for comic effect.
