      That’s still cannibalism over getting bumped. It’s not like a basketball player eating a horse jockey is any different from me eating you.

        it’s maybe not just getting bumped, but being locked tight in a fish tank with too many others, and then getting bumped constantly.

        i can relate to this shark every time I visit a night club

        Are they the same species? Its problably the same as a human eating a monkey, which definitely happens in parts of the world

          They could be, and them not specifying it makes it seem more likely. That said, cannibalism isn’t as odd for certain animals, even of a mother’s own kids.
