How so? In wild, females often eat their dead or sick newborns, or even healthy ones if there's not enough food to sustain them. Chimpanzees kill and consume members of other chimpanzee tribes, allegedly. Rats eat their deceased comrades - this occasionally happens among pets as well. And I'm pretty sure there's ton of other examples, except I can't recall any at the moment and am too lazy to use Google.
As I said, I understand if people find this too digusting to let it appear in the game; but, disgusting or not, cannibalism is a normal and natural thing (for some species).
Edit - ooh, mantis is quite a cool example as well!
