Would it still be considered cannibalism if everyone was a different species?

okay so allow me to explain

Say, somewhere, there’s a monster village somewhere in the mountains. Everyone is some species of monster; all walk on two legs. There are purple monsters with four eyes, there are cat monsters who only come up to your knee. Everyone is fully sentient, and their food sources are non-sapient small animals in the mountains, as well as various plants.

Would it be considered ‘cannibalism’ if a monster of another species eats another monster of a different species? Or like birds of prey, where an eagle will predate and eat a hawk if given the chance, despite them both being in the same family?
