I actually do feel pretty bad for the hyenas. And it's not like the lions are doing it to every predator -- there are leopards and cheetah running around the Pridelands.
(You know, I assumed the ecological catastrophe was Scar's fault in that he's a shitty conservationist and bought a bunch of new predators into an ecosystem with no thought of actually feeding them in the long term. But that wouldn't affect the grass directly -- in fact, having a drastic drop of herbivores would cause a massive growth of undergrowth and things antelopes eat.
(And, yet, once the Rightful King is on the throne, no one cares that Sarabi pretty much said 'we're all boned, time to go let the land recover and eat things elsewhere'. Somehow having Simba being King of Pride Rock makes the grass grow and the antelopes breed like bunnies.)
