6 real animals were killed on-screen in graphic detail and close-up. They are listed as a monkey having its head cut open; a turtle being decapitated and disemboweled (extremely close shot of the head and then legs being cut off and it's shell being pulled open; this spills out the animal's guts which are torn out by some men and eaten); a pig being kicked and then shot; a cat having its throat cut; and a tarantula spider and a snake being cut in two with a machete.
