"Rage of the Ape-Men" has a black liquid that acts as a steroid, causing both an Ape-Man warrior and Spear to "Hulk out" and grow violent.

Animals are killed out of self-defense or for food.
The episode "A Cold Death" features the repercussions Spear and Fang face from killing a member of a mammoth herd for food. Spear is very gentle with the body, seeming to almost pray over it as it takes its last breath.
The episode "Terror of the Ape-Men" features a graphic "fight" scene between Spear and a hoard of the aforementioned Ape-Men. They are all beaten mercilessly, with guts and bones showing as Spear tears them apart to protect Fang.

Various Animals kill each other out of survival, the closest to what would be considered Animal Abuse is when Spear and Fang are captured by the Ape-men in order to be killed for entertainment (with Fang nearly being beaten to death while fighting one of the Ape-men before spear intervenes).

In the episode “Rage of the Ape-men” Spear and Fang are captured by the unprovoked titular Ape-men in order to be forced into a gladiator-style battle where they would have both been killed (which could be considered a type of torture)

In the very first episode, two children are shown to be eaten by carnivorous dinosaurs in silhouette. Later, two baby tyrannosaurs are also eaten, this time in full view.
A few episodes after, we find out that one of the witches lost her young daughter in an accident.

Spear’s Mate (along with their children) is killed by the red tyrannosaurs, The sauropod herd is shown to have nests with eggs and because the entire herd is killed (along with the eggs) it is likely that some of the sauropods were parents to the eggs.

Not in a mental institution, but someone from an institution escapes and kills people. He is treated as an animal/inhuman.

There is a tense scene in “Scent of Prey” where Fang is resting inside a cave which Spear has blocked with rocks in order to keep out scavengers and she can hear the sounds of the Wild Dogs/jackals trying to get in and she can see their shadows through gaps in the rocks

Multiple episodes end on sad notes (The first episode “Spear and Fang” ends with both the main characters having lost their families which is what brings them together. “A Cold Death” ends with the mammoths mourning their dead herd member and “Plague of Madness” ends with the Infected Sauropod burning to death in lava.

Primal is full of violence and gore. The first episode has several dinosaurs being killed and mutilated, as well as fish blood being used as bait for other predators. The driving motivation for the main character, Spear, is witnessing the death of his wife and two children at the jaws of a dinosaur. The same thing happens to another dinosaur that Spear later allies with.
