Career moochers is a good term. ALL animals can get "pushy, aggressive and threatening when they don't get the hand-out they expect".

I thought I'd re-awaken this thread to bring attention to the recently released, viscerally disturbing film "The Cove." I just watched it and had my emotions and mind agonized by what was depicted. It reveals the mass killing of dolphins in a small fishing village of Japan supported by Sea World and the other numerous dolphin show venues around the world.
The film makes clear the self-reflective intelligence that dolphins possess and then educates the viewer on what both the world and the IWC (International Whaling Commission) are allowing. If you have any plans of going to Sea World or a place like it, watch the film first and you will cancel the plans. If you go first and then watch the film, you'll suffer from guilt about it for a long time. I can't encourage viewing the film too much! It's truly a must see!
