What you said isn't cannibalism though, at least not the way I understand it. Cannibalism is eating someone of your own species, like humans eating humans. Your examples are various creatures eating creatures of other species, like Cluny who is a rat eating two rabbits, which aren't the same species, so it's not cannibalism.
