Yes, we do agree about this. Humans are most definitely the cause but if we talk in conservation terms and actions that need to be taken to prevent further decline, there are many other things (many already listed) that need to be addressed as more important before trying to convince stubborn scared people that killing snakes is bad. After all if you exclude the other factors (which are very recent in terms of history of life) and we are left with just some individual people killing individual snakes I think all would be fine. People have been killing snakes probably before we were actually human and both species have survived just fine until now.

The sad fact is that we have now more people living than ever before.
