You do know the lionesses would do the same thing if the situation was reversed, right? Lions routinely ambush hyena dens and kill their cubs when they get the chance, too. It's doubtful they would care if the hyenas were blinded in an inverted scenario; it isn't as though they're magically "more moral" than hyenas. Is one okay and not the other?

Well, I thought I made it pretty clear in my post that my reaction was deeply subjective and emotional).

I'm done responding.

... but I think you're missing the point? The salient detail here seems to me to be "new mother seeing an example where an animal mother was entirely unable to protect her offspring"; because of their anxiety about their own parenting ability, they apparently identified with the lioness and therefore forever associated hyenas with "everything that could harm my [their] kids."

I'd guess that if the documentary had shown lions killing hyena cubs while a hyena mother was incapacitated, the AYRT might have made an association leading to hatred of lions.

What part of ayrt's comment suggests that they think that lions are "magically more moral" than hyenas?
