It's not discriminatory in the case of DVL and Lake Skinner. They are drinking water reservoirs where you're not allowed to have any bodily contact with the water. You can't swim or even wade in the water while shore fishing there, and definitely no pets are allowed within a certain amount of distance from the water. Only non-bailing (sit inside) yaks are allowed.
