Biomagnification.

Yeah gotta keeping feeding the fox and bear poison or poisoned meat.

you'll have to poison a lot of birds to get a bear to eventually die, and then I don't think that creature will be really affected by just one bear. So, the grandpa will have the entire forest full of polonium before this works out.

Personally, I like it without context.

The casual presenting of the fox is the best part.

That's nice. I also thought about Bram Stoker's Dracula, but can't remember if it was in the book or further adaptations.
