Animals are used continuously in experiments. In episode 116 animal rights activists break into a lab and we see many animals apparently distressed and in cages. Olivia later goes to an animal testing lab. The conversation is rough because it talks a lot about animal testing. We see animals in cages though don’t see any abused on screen. In episode 118 a dog is in a cage having been tested on, and Walter infects a rat with syphilis and tests a potential cure on her. The rat squeals and struggles. It doesn’t work, and the rat dies. In episode 202 Walter uses a frog in an experiment.

Character named Hughes who is being held suspect creates a noose out of wire and hangs himself. You see him pulling apart the wire with his teeth (which causes his teeth to bleed) and making the noose, and then you see his body hanging for a few seconds. Timestamp 25:53 is when we start to see him making the noose, Hanging body is shown at 27:15. Entire scene is over at 27:20. Body is shown again and closer at 27:40 as it discovered, second scene is over at 28:01. So skip 25:53-28:01 for these scenes. They are interspersed between the scene of Olivia and Peter exhuming the body of Hughes' wife and child, they find out the body of the child is missing and it looks like something dug it's way out of the coffin.
