There's an alligator who gets its tail pulled and doesn't look too happy about it.

Snake gets beheaded. Birds that probably died in a bus crash. Alligator gets killed off-screen and turned into boots.

Alligators are kept as pets in poor conditions. A bunch of them in a castle dungeon and then two babies on a boat just hanging out.

In the opening scene, which is actually from a fictional novel within the movie, we meet a bad guy who the heroine states raped her sister. He also tries to force the heroine to disrobe (unsuccessfully.)

I guess, but it was a short fall into an alligator pit. So you see, it wasn't the fall that killed them.

Danny DeVito's character, in Spanish, talking on the phone, uses a Spanish word that I believe is a slur.

Not much. A busted lip, some minor cuts. Right near the end of the film (about 1.5hrs in) Joan's hand is cut by a knife. The only true gorey bit of the movie happens shortly afterwards when the cop's hand is eaten by a crocodile.
