noncannibalistic
Abstaining from human-consumption
Noncannibalistic describes behavior, practices, or species that do not involve eating members of one's own kind.
The term appears most often in biological and anthropological contexts, distinguishing creatures or cultures that refrain from cannibalism from those that engage in it.
The noncannibalistic tribe maintained strict taboos against consuming human flesh.
It can also describe individual animals within species where cannibalism occasionally occurs.
