What other creatures besides humans kill their own species?
 
Black Widow spiders - Theres a reason they are called widows. The females of the species eat their male partners after mating.

I think the praying mantis is the same. 
 
Hamsters, unless I'm wrong. I can't Google it right now.

One of our pet hamsters ate their one baby I think.
