Yes you can, just because cannibalism is socially unacceptable in our society, doesn't mean that you're not eating meat.
Although on the subject, how many prides of lions do you think are currently debating whether or not they should tear that gazelle apart and scoff heartily upon it's bloody remains or just have some of those leaves a bit like the elephants. You can picture it now...
"It'll make us more civilised if we eat leaves, we don't want to be at the same level as a mere leopard, we are kings of the jungle don't you know."
"Bollocks, I can almost taste the rump of that one, look at it, so succulent and tasty and young and unable to run as fast as me"
"Don't you tell me I'm talking bollocks, that's so offensive, I want you to take that back right now"
"Shan't, and I'm going to rip that fucker to pieces right now, anybody with me?"
"Right, that's it, I'm going to complain about you"
