If we consider Meeches as Hyeanas and Scrabs as Lions, that might give us some idea of how it worked...
1 Every animal is a scavenger unless they eat plants.

2 It's free food why not.

3 Thats not actually the truth.

4 It's easy food why not get it and who's gonna stop 'em YOU . And if they can why not if they don't have to work for it.

If an animal sees some dead prey and an alive one which one would it choose it's obvious the dead one less work for them.

Are you saying that lions/lionesses don't hunt they are superb hunters all cats are even my cat who's only got one fang so don't mock them if you are saying that..
