They're not technically rabbits. Beasts that are called rabbits. But there's a point where they're all being killed off-screen and the main character saves one.

Juno is stalked in season 2, although the extent of it is that someone is watching him. It is later revealed to be a non-issue.

Child abuse is mentioned many times in the Juno Steel story line, as it is a prominent element of Juno's backstory, I would recommend against listening to the entire story line if it is a trigger for you.

Addiction
2
Yes. Juno Steel is described as having a past addiction, and a character is heard taking addictive drugs onscreen (though not shown, as it is a podcast) in the following episodes:

Juno Steel and the Clean Break parts 1 and 2, Juno Steel and the Blank Slate parts 1 and 2, and Juno Steel and the Next Page parts 1 and 2.

The main character in the Juno Steel storyline struggles with addiction, and another character’s past heavily discusses a problem with addiction. Additionally, this character becomes audibly addicted to a drug from Juno Steel and the Clean Break part 1 to Juno Steel and the Next Page part 2 (and it is a major plot point).

A character stuns a dog with a blaster. When someone else is upset because of this, the character says something along the lines of “Don’t worry, it was set to stun. At least I think it was.” This is not clarified at any point.

Annie, the younger sister of Juno's friend Sasha, was accidentally killed when they were children. The episode Juno Steel and the Day That Wouldn't Die takes place on the 25th anniversary of her death, and is heavily focused on the events of the day she died.

Twice in Juno Steel and the Heart of It All Part 2 after comms calls end— 2:05-2:16, and 6:05-6:10.

Once at the end of Juno Steel and the Blank Slate Part 1, around 29:10. It is commented on for the rest of the episode.

All audible and VERY graphic.

The show's creators have said that the population of Mars is mostly LGBT, so many characters that die may be LGBT, but there are some characters that die and are confirmed to be LGBT.

[SPOILER, HOMOPHOBIA TW] during the Lady of the Lake arc of the Second Citadel story line, a character who is SGA dies, and there are references to cultural homophobia.
