I remember someone (maybe a park ranger?) posted here on Reddit not too long ago that the problem with "bear proof" containers is that it's almost impossible to make something hard enough to get into that a bear can't figure it out, but easy enough to get into that most people can get into.

I don't remember the exact quote, but the sentiment has stuck with me.

Our ancestors faced far more immediate and tangible examples of death and brutality than people typically do now, at least in the west. High infant mortality, war, famine, lack of sophisticated law and order……

We see stuff on TV. It wasn’t that long ago executions were a form of public entertainment.
