violence
Animals fight each other and attack humans, with sight of biting, scratching, kicks and a head butt. Human characters shoot animals and stab at them with farming implements.
threat and horror
There are scenes of gun and blade threat, as well as sequences in which animals aggressively intimidate one another. A drunk farmer frightens his livestock by brandishing a whip and with threats of violence. Characters are threatened with death as a punishment for rule-breaking.
injury detail
Blood spurts and splashes are occasionally visible when animals are injured or killed.
alcohol and smoking
Characters drink alcohol, including an unpleasant man who drinks heavily and behaves aggressively.
theme
Animal characters grieve for the loss of loved ones, and occasionally become distraught when others are injured or separated from them. References are made to farm animals being slaughtered for meat or used 'for glue'. The story includes themes around the corrupting influence of power and the exploitation of others.

violence
Characters hit one another. One brief scene depicts a character grabbing another by the throat.
threat and horror
It's implied that animals are taken to a slaughterhouse. There are brief chase scenes, and a sequence in which a person becomes trapped under heavy machinery.
language
There is wordplay around the term 'ass', as well as uses of 'jerk'.
rude humour
Innuendo around the phrase 'pulling pork' features occasionally; burp and fart jokes also occur.
alcohol and smoking
Characters occasionally drink alcohol and act as if they are drunk.
theme
Upsetting scenes include those in which characters are treated unfairly by others; characters' deaths are also implied. Such scenes are not prolonged and generally come with comic interludes and reassuring outcomes.
