Content Warnings

Graphic: Gore, Blood, and Cannibalism

Moderate: Animal death, Body horror, Gun violence, and Racism

Minor: Infidelity, Medical content, and Pandemic/Epidemic

There is implied child death but it isn't on page.

There is a graphic scene of animal surgery. The gun violence is mostly in self-defense rather than conflict between humans. There is a story where prescription drugs are moderately described as an emotional coping mechanism rather than medical treatment.
