Cannibalism only applies when it's two beings of the same species. "Animals" is not a species. A lion eating another lion is cannibalism. A lion eating a pig is just a lion eating a pig.

that's just downright racism. i'm beginning to think you have a crush on me. first you put my quote in your signature. now you want me to dance, perhaps like a stripper kind of way. sorry pal, i'm taken already.
Racist? I don't even know what race you are. I was just being condescending.
