Yes it is discriminatory. The proponents of these actions are taking full advantage of the well known human prejudice against these animals with their media campaign, playing fast and loose with the facts.

Here is an analogy -- cop stops you for speeding. You say, "I wasn't speeding. It was the other guy. I was just keeping up with the flow of traffic. People were passing me. What about them?"

Cop says, "I didn't catch them. I caught you." You have no defense. Court is going to take the cop's word, even if he was mistaken. He is an officer of the court. He is an authority figure.

The people making these unsupportable claims are "Authority Figures". The public is going to assume they know what they are talking about, regardless. Besides, not a huge percentage of the general public interested in campaigning for the truth . Don't like snakes in the first place. Right? Public apathy, or outright disdain.

An easy mark for the proponents of this agenda. Sets precedent. More banning to follow. And so on and so on...
