Did anyone hear that Hyenas are buried by law enforcement agents in Algeria? Urban legend?

I lived more than 20 years in a southern city in Algeria and heard this story multiple times.

It goes like this: Hyenas bodies are used for some forms of magic spells. When a Hyena is found dead, the authorities must be informed and they come and bury it themselves.

Did anyone else hear this? Is it an urban legend where I lived or is it real?

Have a good day everyone
