What if the story was about environmental impact of hunting, what if the story was about the destruction of ecosystems that ridding predators in the forest brings, what if the rabbits eventually overconsume the forest and end up to it dying, what if the story was about how indifferent and morally

Grey the forest is, how it is not an environment of peace but a finely tuned machine where every member has a role, even if it is as bleak as dying, what if it was a story about how environmental change

The sad truth is that after wolves were killed by humans in the environments that rely on them, the deer population exploded and killed whole forests by eating them, I always found this both terrifying and fascinating. Death is part of life. And to me. Thats scary.
