An auto safety on a shotgun would be OK if they all had the same provision as one of mine does that allows closing the action uncocked.

However, you will note that the break open action is the only type fitted with auto safeties. I've never see one on a bolt action, slide action, or selfloader. What makes a double more dangerous than a self loader?

As for rifles, there have been a number of people killed due to auto safeties. They are a NO! NO! NO! NEVER! on a game rifle.

It is a common experience that game will often ignore the sound of a shot and spook at something like the clink of a cartridge case hitting the ground. I suppose a small sound signifies something sneaking up where as a shot might be taken for thunder or something.

It's been my experience that it's mainly some dogs that spook at the sound of a shot at any distance. (Our Miniature Schnauzer is upset when the neighbors shoot off firecrackers, the Scottish Highland Terror just thinks it's something interesting to check out.)
