2 out of the 3 "Chimps" (Link is actually an orangutan) are killed. The first is killed off camera but discovered in a closet later. The second is killed during the movie's finale falling into a fire, but unlike the previous animal deaths, it's not disturbing or graphic; the fire is all greenscreen and the animal falling looks like a still shot with no movement.
SPOILER with time stamp: When Jane is trying to find Imp's food and Imp is pointing to a cabinet, the other chimp's body falls out. It's briefly shown in close up having a head injury of unknown origin and then laying on the floor. More than anything it's the expression of the dead animal that makes this scene disturbing. Skip 0:44:46-0:45:18.

Actual abuse is not shown on camera, but it's implied the Doctor uses abusive tactics to train and discipline the chimps. He does threaten one with a rifle and another with a stick.

Several. 1 cat, 1 dog, 2 "chimps" (see previous entries for details), and a whole field of dead sheep in the final scene.

Yes, the US version opens with a POV of something chasing a cat and shortly after the cat's body is shown.
