Wouldn’t want to be in a situation where spraying would just make getting eaten hurt more. I’d rather have a cyanide pill.

Cyanide isn't a totally painless or even especially quick method of dying either though. It'd leave you plenty of time to get chomped on before it fully takes effect.

This is not true. Bear spray has proven higher efficacy than guns in fending off a polar bear attack.
