Strictly speaking, yes. Fritz abandons his girlfriend on the side of the road after their car breaks down. However, no non-anthropomorphic animals/pets are abandoned.

Technically, all the characters are non-human and a few of them are killed. We also see a farmer beat a number of non-anthropomorphic chickens to death.

After their car runs out of gas, Fritz's girlfriend blames him and sends him with a bucket to walk to the nearest gas station. With the car nearly out of sight behind him, Fritz throws away the bucket with a bitter statement along the lines of "we'll see who needs whom to survive" and walks away. His girlfriend is not mentioned or shown again.

A neo-Nazi character is depicted as completely numbed by an unspecified intravenous drug. He is consistently shown with a wide, vacant stare and flat speech with a flat laugh. He shoots up in a public restroom and starts to ride away on a motorcycle without his girlfriend, but returns for her when he sees her holding up a loaded syringe in his rearview mirror, suggesting that he is an addict and will do whatever it takes for another dose.

Strictly speaking, all the characters are anthropomorphic animals and a few are fatally shot - most notably a crow. We also see an anthropomorphic farmer beat several crates of non-anthropomorphic chickens to death with a length of wood.

The film does include an off-screen rape scene. The word "rape" is never used, but the dialogue following the scene strongly implies what happened and may be triggering.

Fritz enters the women's restroom at a synagogue and sexually assaults a woman off-screen. After a cop disrupts them, she is shown with her shirt torn and tells the cop that he saved her life. In a later scene, a neo-Nazi beats his girlfriend with a chain before chaining her to a bed and gang raping her off-screen with his friends. She is shown afterward, traumatized. Fritz tells her he tried to stop them and briefly discusses the incident with one of the neo-Nazis without specifically stating that she was raped.

Someone is raped off-screen. Imagery prior to the incident strongly implies what is about to happen and the victim is shown afterward in a state of distress. Use discretion.

In the bar scene, the barkeep smashes a glass bottle on the counter and squares off with a patron, who responds with a switchblade. The two ultimately do not fight, but the scene may be triggering for stabbing/cutting.

In a moment of existential crisis, Fritz rants, takes pills, throws papers around, and finally breathes fire, igniting the building. A farmer loses his temper when his chickens won't be quiet, screaming at them and then beating them to death with a length of wood.

Arguably yes. All of the cops shown in the film are literal pigs. They are bumbling idiots and part of the joke is, of course, that they are fat.

Black people are literally crows in this film and they are generally shown either in a state of drunkenness or violence. A major black character opportunistically steals a car and Fritz starts a riot in a black neighborhood by simply yelling about revolution.

Pretty much the main focus of the movie. The main character is a pervert, for one thing, and the advertising has a lot of references to the movie being X-rated.

There is no nuclear explosion, but a neo-Nazi group does set off some TNT and there is a prolonged redscaled shot of wind from the explosion, which may be triggering.
