other species do not kill and consume each other as a routine mechanism

Ever seen "Sea Monkey's" (actually brine shrimp)? You start with a few thousand and end up with a dozen really large ones. I assure you they don't all die from "natural causes". Cannibalism is very efficient when you are resource starved. Lots of birds will eat the shells of their young to reclaim the calcium. Eating of afterbirth is also common. If these are aren't "cannibalistic" then I don't know what is.
