Apart from the mass killings of animals by tintin in congo, here are a few more:

tintin and haddock kill alligators in prisoners of the sun.

tintin kills an anaconda in the same book

snowy eats up the young ones of the vulture in the same book

snowy is seen clawing at a piranha on the shore in the broken ear

can you think of some more

Also counting:
In Prisoners Haddock slaps a llama and then he throws water at her.
IN Black Island Tintin hits Snowy in a bar.
In Explorers JÖrgen breaks Snowy´s leg.
In Emerald Haddock is attacking the parrot every moment.
In Broken Ear many of the cast are attacking the parrot.

I know the animals don´t die, but it´s abuse and violence, so it counts.

Not necessarily. I never even thought that. I think that those bones in the nest were the bones of creatures that were eaten by the Condor. (It's not a vulture)

Interesting trivia but let's not get too politically correct here. The books were written at a time when all of these things were considered normal, even fashionable.

If for the sake of propriety we edit or allow the future to edit these works, we will mar their beauty.

I don't think the parrots were touched. In the same way Rastapopoulos also tries to crush a spider in Flight 714 even though he cannot.
