Dead boars (including piglets) are carried on sticks for a feast. A taxidermied bear is used in a portrait painting. A goat has its throat slit, its lifeless body is shown briefly, and later they eat the meat. A dying horse is shot and its lifeless body is shown briefly. A dead cow is found, among other livestock not shown as clearly.

The goat seemed upset and resistant when it was pulled out for slaughter, and a dying horse is shown wheezing in distress, so I'm saying yes.

A man is locked in a cage and has boiled water repeatedly poured on him until he dies. It's clear he was also tortured prior to this scene. His body is covered in cuts and bruises and he can't walk on his own. While he's held captive by Schinkel, Kahlen is bound and beaten with a whip.

There is superstition and hate toward the little girl because she's Romani and has darker skin. Multiple characters call her "darkling."
