Reanther vs. veiled,
those are two different species and one has obviously eaten the other.
Wouldn't this NOT be considered cannabalism, considering they are different species altogether, and not different subspecies like, say, dogs?
Would a veiled eat a smaller veiled? A panther eat a panther etc?

forget that happy face there...its re: panther

Yes it happens all the time in the wild!

would a white person eating a black human not be canabilism???

Very true, but we are all the same species, just different subspecies. Not that it matters.

No, we're all the same species, no other human sub-species survives today. Even though we might think some of us 'humans' are really ANIMALS! (remark directed at one specific person, who shall remain nameless, not anyone from this thread )

The cham is not deliberately being a cannibal. It sees a small green (well usually) animal that is slow moving, can be found in the same areas it hunts in, and easy to catch. THAT is what motivates them to shoot and eat it, not whether it is a cham or not. Many adult animals will eat young of their own species. They are not deliberately choosing them, they are just available and vulnerable. It's not a moral issue for animals.

Righto, thanks everyone.
