The series revolves around a pair of brothers who violently murdered their sister-in-law and baby niece. In episode 7 they beat her badly in the face until she's bloody and the murders happen off-camera. Throughout the series multiple men hit their wives and are generally threatening to their families.

A pet dog is beaten to death to teach children a lesson about responsibility. Nothing is shown and it is clear the actor is swinging a bat at a camera.
In a flashback, a dog is hung, then shot for eating sheep. His owner is devastated and clearly grieves.
