An owl eating a bat is not cannibalism. If the talking owl were to eat another non-talking owl, that would be cannibalism. And that wouldn't happen, I don't think. Too many feathers and difficult to digest.

There's no instance of any of the talking animals eating one of their own kind. They eat the things that their kind should eat. The bears eat honey and fruits, and the panthers probably eat meat, but not from other panthers, etc...
I doubt that the kings of Cair Paravel served stewed mouse on their tables, and mice don't eat meat anyway, do they?

What does everybody think about Eustace eating the dragon in VDT?
"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I remember in Prince Caspian they talked about humans going bad and how would you tell the deference. I got a mental picture of zombies eating us.
Without my friends or cousins, I don't make sense. Life would be somewhere not worth my time.

1. Not all Narnia beasts are talking beasts

2. It clearly states in VDT that, while it seems shocking that Eustace ate the other dragon (remember, he did not kill it) it was actually natural for him to do so, since his tastes were "dragonish" and there is nothing a dragon likes so well as the taste of dragon. You might also remember that the dragon was not a talking beast.
