Well, not exactly... but my uncle really did have a pet hyena. He told US customs that it was a dog and he brought it into this county from Kenya. It was the late 1960s... anyway, it didn't work out well. I just remember "Elizabeth" drooling a lot. She did not make a good pet. I suggest you consider a capybara or nutria. Been there done that.

Can you imagine the creepy noises a hyena would make? Are you sure you want to feed an animal that large? Would your neighbors want to kill it for an exotic rug that is all the rage? And it is a freaking wild animal, dude! Just as a side note: I think it is actually against the law to love your pet this much: http://www.pieterhugo.com/files/albums/selected-work/the-hyena-other-men/19.jpg So, I like your idea except for a few reasons:
