In episode 1, Kunta's horse is shot and shown lying on the sand. It isn't clear if the horse dies, but it's heavily implied.

It's extremely traumatic. In episode 1, the slavers cut off Uncle Silla's infected arm as a method of intimidating the other enslaved people.

In episode 1, when Kunta wakes on the slave ship, he vomits shortly after. Since he's chained lying down, it stays on his face.
