Police is Required to Protect Loch Ness Monster

London (ANTARA News / Reuters) - Police in Scotland in the 1930s believed the existence of the Loch Ness monster "needless" and even tried to protect him from poachers.

One letter released by the National Archives of Scotland Inverness County Police Chief William Fraser in August 1938 showed the police believe the only step they can do to protect "nessie" of the hunters is to tell people that the preservation of the monster was "very necessary".

Fraser added that a particular partner Peter Kent and Miss Marion Stirling of London determined to capture the monster and Kent has notified the local police he would have a special harpoon gun to hunt down these monsters.
"That there is a very strange creature in Loch Ness now seems no doubt, but that the police have the authority to protect it is very doubtful," Fraser wrote in his letter to Deputy Minister in the Scottish Office.

Fraser said he had warned Kent about the desire to not disturb the animal.
"... But whether the warning I would have the desired impact or not still remains to be seen," he added.
