1. A scraper apparatus, comprising:
a pair of scrapers disposed opposite each other in a perpendicular direction to a conveying direction of a poultry carcass held by a holder and configured to remove meat attached to a processed portion of the poultry carcass by putting the processed portion between the pair of scrapers; and
a support part which supports the pair of scrapers so as to allow displacement of the pair of scrapers in the perpendicular direction to follow a shape of the processed portion of the poultry carcass moving in the conveying direction,
wherein in a case where the processed portion of the poultry carcass is not disposed between the pair the scrapers, the pair of scrapers face each other while being on opposite sides of a center line extending in the conveyance direction, and in a case where the processed portion of the poultry carcass is disposed between the pair the scrapers, the support part allows displacement of the pair of scrapers in the perpendicular direction such that one scraper of the pair of scrapers is configured to cross the center line extending in the conveyance direction.
