There is a graphic scene where several dogs attack the troop of National Guardsmen, and although we see the troops trying to fight off the attacking dogs with the butts of their rifles, we (thankfully) don't hear any yelping and then the dogs, all of them, run off.

I wouldn't say squashed, but one gets shot in the head, very graphically shown.

Two real pigs get taken to a big cookout in the back of a truck in cages. A Cajun guy comes over and shoots them both in the head. The camera does not cut away and you can see at least one of them’s legs twitching after he dropped. I highly suspect they did not use special effects or trained pigs. Afterwards they are graphically gutted (Full disclosure: I did cover my eyes for a few seconds when their guts were first cut into, when I realized those were not stunt pigs). The scene takes place in a very small Cajun town and is in the last 20 minutes. Look away when the guy parks, then walks towards their cages in the truck bed until a minute or two after the gun fires twice, if you can do without seeing two real pigs getting killed onscreen. Poor things.

You don't see it happen or know who did it, but his buddies find his hanging body. Could have been suicide, but it is not clear.

Quite a few, like the booby trap, and the discovery of team members bodies displayed as a scare tactic.
