Hyenas, specifically striped hyenas, are not endangered, but rather on the vulnerable species list. The reason for this is mainly humans using them for trading and poaching, as well as being violent to the species. There has also been a decline in the prey they hunt for, making it difficult for them to eat properly.

Spotted Hyenas are endangered because of the things that eat the hyena. For example: Even though they like to eat baby lion cubs the parents protect them and kill the hyenas. Another example: US! us humans are killing them and when we put them into the zoos we are taking away more and more from the wild. Even though we don't think it wrong to take them away form there habitat it is really wrong.

Brown huenas are endangered, mostly because of overhunting, due to the fact that ranchers think they kill livestock.

Hyenas are usually portrayed as a menace and many believe that they aren't needed. So when Hyenas are being hunted down not many really care meaning not many will do anything about it.
