Scavenger animals are pretty cool and some of the few times where people living in cities get to observe wildlife doing their thing, but comparing scavengers to "workers" vastly underestimates the level of exploitation workers face.

Remember, it is literally illegal in many places for humans to pick expired food out of grocery store dumpsters. Police regularly get called to protect the trash from starving people. We are literally treated as less than raccoons and opossums.

I get what you're saying, but sometimes a meme is just a meme
