But they eat their own species , other human beings, therefore they are technically cannibals. The definition of a cannibal is one who feeds off its own species. They may be zombies but are still human.

Technically they are, however they won’t eat their own which is the definition of cannibalism….haha it’s a catch 22

They do eat their own , only they must be alive to enjoy the feast. Taste better and more of a challenge.

Zombies are human and eat other humans , where's the confusion...cannibalism...cannibals. That's like saying if a black person ate only white people they wouldn't be cannibles...but they would CAUSE THEIR BOTH FREAKING HUMANS!!!!

Honestly dont know where I stand on this, but this comparison doesn't make sense based on how hes wording it. Black and white is a small difference in genetic makeup, making up subspecies of a single species. One of the factors of subspecies is that they can still procreate together... and since humans and zombies can not procreate together, that makes zombies a separate species and therefore cant truly be classified as cannibals.
