- kromem 3y agoCannibals don't necessarily kill the people they eat. For example, there's cannibalistic tribes that eat their recently departed ancestors as part of their tradition, but that's their only form of cannibalism. Cannibalism technically only relates to the eating of humans. Not to the killing of them. If anything, the assumption that cannibals would kill and eat the missionaries is the leap of logic.
