A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

How do they not all get eaten by predators?
Another comment posted a link claiming they're dead, so probably they do
Would those be scavengers then?
Some predators will scavenge. Not very advantageous to pass up a free meal.
in an urban environment, predators are usually more scarce than in rural environments, and the ones that do live in urban areas won't touch any prey animal if there's a human nearby.
there are people putting them in safe places, that may include safe from predators too.
A lot of predators are nocturnal (foxes, owls)
There were coyotes that hunted up and down the banks of the large creek that ran behind my house. They would often chase prey into the neighborhood, but they would never pursue, they would figure out ways to go around. They also would hunt in packs during the winter and even then, they never came into neighborhoods or yards.
