No real animals get abused but a sentient stuffed animal gets abused frequently by Monokuma.

Saionji was a target of abuse in childhood due to her performing career, and in-game bullies other characters, particularly Tsumiki.

One of the killers starts rambling about their “beloved” leading up to the execution, although it isn’t confirmed what exactly was meant by that in this game. The anime has more information.

In Chapter 2, someone gets their eye injured badly enough to need an eye patch. In Chapter 6, there's a brief graphic mention of eye mutilation done in the past.

All of the Danganronpa games have brutal deaths, and plenty of blood from murdered characters is shown. Chapter 5 has a particularly brutal death.

One scene has a character attempt to sacrifice themself for another character. However this character goes on to live. In another scene, a character dies and it is implied later that they tried to sacrifice themself for another, but this never gets proven 100%. In another scene, it is implied in another scene that 2 characters have a duel to the death for the larger group to survive, which may count as a sacrifice. Finally, one character sacrifices themself so that all but one other character will die with them. However, this other character dies.

This is really up to debate on whether they count as ghosts. YMMV on the following. [SPOILERS] In the final chapter, All of the characters who died until that point briefly reappear with none of the alive characters questioning it and acting as normal. These aren’t really ghosts, moreso illusions brought upon by the simulation glitching out. Chiaki reappears in the climax to help Hajime during his identity crisis but considering her status as an AI and the glitching state of the virtual world, it’s more likely remnants of her programming rather than an outright ghost.

That’s not possession, That’s a disease. There is an actual discussion of possession however as at the end of the game, it’s revealed that the main antagonist’s plan revolves around possessing the survivors however they are stopped before they can posses anyone

One of the characters' executions heavily features needles, and it has been implied by many fan theories that the entire sequence is a metaphor for a lethal injection.

Some characters are kept in a hospital when they have "Despair Disease", which causes them to act very differently from their normal personalities. Figured I'd mention that just in case.

In chapter 3 there is a moment where a character cuts open their own stomach. In chapter 5, a character extremely violently self harms by stabbing themself several times in the leg, their arm, and then stabbing the knife through their hand. In chapter 6, it is revealed that off-screen a character cut off their own hand.

Near the end of the game, strange glitching visuals and repeating dialogue give off the effect that the game itself is malfunctioning. One character repeatedly mentions that all of the characters are trapped in a “game,” but is not aware of their existence inside of the actual Danganronpa game, which their monologue could be interpreted as alluding to.

I'm not sure where this fits, but one of the characters removed the womb of a dead woman and put it into her own body in a twisted attempt to have children with the corpse.

the ableism towards nagito is pretty explicit, frequent and unavoidable, and participated in by basically everyone else in the game. he even gets tied up and restrained by some of the other students because they deem him dangerous for being the “crazy/insane” character.

Towards Byakuya, mainly from Hiyoko, although Fuyuhiko also refers to him by fatass. Byakuya doesn’t seem to care about any of this and seems to embrace it if anything, but this still may be triggering for other people.

[Spoiler] It's quite true that LGBT characters die, but the rundown of precise identities by the previous commenter is somewhat misleading, making it seem like all of these queer characters are potentially progressive, positive representation suffering only from a case of Bury Your Gays. Hanamura Teruteru is a jokey horndog character of the would do anything with a hole and also probably anything without one" type, a fairly tired stereotype of bi/pan people. Mikan Tsumiki's a very fetish-y character aimed at a specific straight male playerbase, and her f/f scenes (mostly in the DR3 anime) are blatantly intended as fanservice for that audience. Mikan fanservice scenes can be extremely uncomfortable, especially for female/female-aligned viewers, although this is very much a YMMV matter and there's no category for "creepy alienating male gaze" on this site.

(replying to previous comment) Their official wiki says "Their gender is unknown", & that they're not officially male but "able to give off a largely male impression while disguised." They're canonly nonbinary, & can just present as male (or masculine). The Ultimate Imposter uses he/him while disguised as Byakuya (and other men), so there is no misgendering.

Mikan on a VERY obnoxious level and frequency. It’s even a major plot point in foiling the first killer. As someone who doesn’t usually care about this kind of thing, I found it extremely eye rolling

The fate of the survivors is left ambiguous, but leans towards the happier side. The DR3 anime does show what happens to them afterwards but this information is not available in this game.

the blood in danganronpa is hot pink if that prevents your trigger, though the death in chapter five is very graphic imo, and depicts a characters limbs and stomach being impaled.
