It is mentioned that two dogs are killed offscreen. You never see the dogs die, or see their bodies.
All you see is the dog barking angrily beforehand.

If fishing counts, then yes. They go fishing and J.J. catches a fish with his fishing pole. There is no intentional animal abuse and the fish is not shown dying on-screen.

No, but an adult (Dana) mentions that she's been afraid of storms ever since her dad left her home alone during one when she was five. So, she was neglected at the least as a child.

While walking to see the ranger, a snake slithers along the ground right in front of J.J.'s feet. The ranger than walks up and says that's his little escape artist. He picks it up and lets J.J. touch it, explaining how you can tell from the colors that it's not poisonous.

The man who snuck into Dana's apt starts trying to force her to have sex with him. She grabs a knife and manages to get him to leave.

No but a woman almost rapes Johnny while he's tied to a chair. She wants to get pregnant with his baby and doesn't understand (in my opinion) that what she's doing would be rape. Johnny is telling her that he likes her and would like to spend time with her away from here, but of course he's just trying to get her to untie him. He is trying to reason with her telling her "no, not like this" when she's about to go ahead with it and she only stops when she notices that a friend of hers is watching.

There is a missing girl who is suspected of being kidnapped. Her parents recently split up and her mom doesn't know where her kid or her kid's father is but says that he wouldn't kidnap her. He didn't, but the kid did sneak off to try to be with her dad. It takes most of the episode to discover that she wasn't kidnapped.

The "bad guy" in the episode (a murderer) is someone who was portraying themselves as female but had male parts (that they'd been born with). I'm unclear if the person was actually transgender or if it was part of a disguise or what.

Um... Kinda? Someone is portraying themselves as a gay woman but it turns out that the person was born a male. I think that it's more of a disguise than that the person is transgender and hiding it from their girlfriend, but the person is so very confused (from severe mental illness) that I'm not totally sure what's true.

Maybe? I'm not sure what they're trying to represent in the show. There's a character who is extremely mentally ill (and has been their whole life) and has trouble facing what they did as a child so they've developed a new personality, a new name, a new look, and I'm not clear if it's actually supposed to be D.I.D. or not.

Near the end of the episode we hear a gunshot, then see a man lying on the ground with a pool of blood around his head.

A Black man uses the n-word when discussing how Chris Rock has a whole stand up skit about looking over your shoulder for the (n-word) behind you and how everyone laughed and violence committed by Black people has just become a big joke.

Yes, in flashbacks of 2 different scenes. One of them involves a drive-by shooting where a child playing basketball is shot. The child lives.
