bleater
Whining goat perhaps
A bleater is one who bleats—literally a sheep, goat, or other animal that makes that wavering cry.
Figuratively, a bleater is someone who complains or protests in a weak, whining manner: The usual bleaters showed up at the town hall meeting.
The term carries contempt, suggesting the complaint lacks substance or courage.
