But honestly though,

--- Quote from: Oddonelynx on August 13, 2019, 05:21:19 pm ---people never listen, they say stuff like;
"Hyenas deserve to go extinct!"
"Hyenas are evil!"
"Kill all hyenas!"
"Hyenas are weak!"
And if you try educating them sometimes, they'll literally call you dumb.

I've never heard anybody saying stuff like that around the public.
Perhaps the people you've heard this from were only trolling or were sarcastic? If not, then I don't know what to say.
That's really weird if they were genuine. :P

Anyways, yes hyenas are as cool as wolves, and deserve some love. <3

Actually on videos where the spotted hyenas are hunting you might see those comments, and they're being serious.

Jango_Fett:
never take youtube commentors seriously and don't take part in those kind of debates
they solve nothing and just waste time

i adore hyenas with all my heart[brownies ftw] but if you want to be proactive for them the best way to help is by supporting research groups and conservation efforts

or better yet - create content about them and spread the 'good' word.

my first year of speech and debate i did an illustrated oratory on hyenas and was able to change minds that way. i would never call myself an animal/hyena activist but this is something i'm certainly passionate about. public speaking isn't for everyone but that's a crucial part to these kinds of things.

the brain scoop did a small striped hyena oriented bit concerning the chicago field museum's exhibit on them. that also brought attention to the lesser cousins of the spotties.
it really is just a matter of i guess making art and showing that these creatures exist consistently.
not much else one could do.

LadySigyn:

Hyenas are very much underrated. The amount of people I have to correct in saying they're canines is ridiculous, but it shows how little most of the world knows about them. They deserve more love.

A while ago I made a post on how spotted hyenas and their cousins are underrated.
Well I've noticed, they're never the good guys! In the Lion Guard, for once they actually had good hyenas! ( Janja and his clan eventually became good like Jasiri!)
That's probably the only case of good hyenas. Most of the time when hyenas are bad, it's probably from some TLK fans who think it's true, it's a fun fiction people not a documentary!! Or it's made by some hyena hating wolfaboo who thinks a wolf could win, ( Despite wolves only having a bite force of only 400 and spotted hyenas being the biggest of the hyena family have a bite force of 1100..) they lie about a wolf being stronger because they can't accept that their "mighty" "majestic" grey wolf can't beat everything. The those wolfaboos usually only love grey wolves! What about those indian wolves?  Or the  Mexican grey wolf! Those wolves are underrated compared to the grey wolf! Okay anyways, here is an example of a wolfaboo doing something with spotted hyenas:

(Those spotted hyenas are hideous..)


I don't get it, spotted hyenas aren't bad or evil, they're just animals! Why do people demonize them?? There is literally so much proof that they're pawsome animals! They're awesomely intelligent, successful hunters! And if you want to know who the real scavenger is, it's african lions. They are more scavengers than hunters, they steal prey from smaller predators, including spotted hyenas, and maybe the other 2 bigger species too! (Striped & Brown!)
I'll leave some information here if you're interested:

(Checkmate wolfaboos, the grey wolf is nowhere to be found on these bite force countdowns, and the spotted hyena is on all of them.)
https://thechive.com/2015/09/17/the-strongest-bites-in-the-animal-kingdom-25-photos/
(While the grey wolf is found, it's number six, while the spotted hyena is freaking number fifteen, that's where you see their TRUE BITE FORCE, anything that says higher for the grey wolf is probably a wolfaboo trying to make grey wolves look stronger than they really are!)

Copy and paste those links to anyone who is uneducated about spotted hyenas!
Goodnight everyone! Enjoy learning new knowledge or educating someone else on these misunderstood animals!
Peace out!
