Exactly if you are going to kill something do it humanely use a 870

Exactly, "if" "when" a person actually requires bear spray to defend oneself from one, the real thing may actually save your life as it's a last ditch effort at the best of times... Having had a bear charge me once it's not a small incident like a dog chasing you, believe me...

Evidently you haven't had a feral dog that is serious about doing harm . Twice the only thing that kept feral dogs from eating me was an 12 gauge.
Disclaimer I went looking for these dogs, so someone else less capable than I was not hurt. Both times they had killed livestock and been aggressive toward people
I was assisting animal control both times
