Actually cannibalism is much more common in the natural world than we'd like to think. Mostly it is at the invertebrate level, but there are species of frogs that change into "monsters" when they get overpopulated. Consuming the flesh of their kindreds cause them activate a gene that makes them all the more vicious, changing their phenotype profoundly. They start to look like a different species.

What offends us about killing and consuming our own is that we recognize that it could be US being consumed.
