Spoiler:
A lion (big cat) is bought by a rich family, who uses it in a canned hunt (a hunt with fenced in boundaries.) One women shoots the lion with a bow and arrow. The lion is not shown but you hear it cry out in pain. Off screen, we can still hear labored breathing until another hunter shoots the lion with a rifle and kills it. The family is shown taking trophy pictures over the deceased lion body. Pretty disturbing, especially when the film lets you know this happens regularly still in Africa.

Apparently, the process the filmmakers obtained the lion cubs used in the film was highly unethical. Boycotts were organized against the film, as well.
Per 911animalabuse.com, a data-gathering website of names connected with animal cruelty:
“To create Mia and the White Lion, (Kevin) Richardson purchased six newborn white lion cubs (two males and four females) from Ukutula Wildlife Park, a notoriously abusive South African “lion mill” and petting park with known ties to the canned hunting industry — the very thing the film claims to be against. Ukutula ships cubs which have outgrown petting to private overseas zoos and their “other farm,” a canned hunting ranch called Kunkuru”

A lion chases after an ostrich to kill and eat it. The kill is not shown or heard, but we do see the lion carrying the dead carcass around for a minute.
We see plenty of raw meat and animal body parts thrown to the lions during feeding time (looked like an antelope leg and a ribcage).
We briefly see a YouTube video of trophy hunters firing at lions and other animals.

I would say the scene where a crossbow shot doesn’t kill a lion right away counts as abuse and torture.
There’s another scene where a person bops a lion cub on the head with a flashlight due to it testing her and getting pushy. It didn’t appear to hurt the lion, just surprised it, but I did hear a person in my theater’s audience yelp at that moment, so it might be a mild shock to some. The cub is shown purring afterwards, if that helps.
