Although not wolves/dogs fighting each other, a pack of wolves attacks the mama bear and the boy. The scene isn't graphic and there's no blood, but it's still quite terrifying.

Although not necessarily abusive, the parents still chain the child to the wall to prevent him from running away. Later they realize and let him go.

A woman is slapped by a bear while trying to protect her child. Nothing graphic, and the woman isn't injured; she just falls to the ground.
