People are drugged against their will. No one willingly uses drugs.

A man feeds a little goat "zombie" powder, which is poison, and the goat dies on screen. This was extremely sad to watch and I don't understand why no one had a warning about this scene.

There is definitely animal abuse in this movie. There is rooster fighting. A sea worm is dropped into a jar with a poisonous toad to frighten the toad into becoming more toxic before being used as potion ingredients. A man intentionally poisons a goat. Even though it is not meant to be cruel, a dove is held by its feet and waved around as good luck.

A bloody dead pig is seen strung up on a cross.
A goat is poisoned and it's death is shown. There is a dried puffer fish and some other hanging dried fish and a bat.

Roughly 4 minutes in a doctor shoves a needle into a man's lower eye to see if he is alive or dead.
