Right animals? Wrong'uns! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'right animals?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for rotters that I've seen is " Contemptible folk".)
