Dear Scotland,

For many generations a large majority of your people have believed that a gigantic monster existed and lived in your most famous lake, the lake, of the Loch Ness.  While the story of the Loch Ness monster has been going around for decades, is there really a need to keep looking for it?  Think about it, no one has found any real evidence of its existence for more than 80 years, you’ve also done sonar scans of the entire lake and found nothing of any tremendous size living in it, and how could it live in it, the lake is too cold for almost any plants to grow, let alone giant fish.

Just because the Loch Ness monster is interesting and scary, how does that mean that it is actually real?  More than 1,000 people have claimed to have seen the monster come out of the lake, and what evidence did they bring back? NONE!  What I’m saying is that shouldn’t one of these many people have taken a photo!  Whether it had been with a camera or a cell phone, how did each of these people see the monster without thinking,”Hey, I should probably bring some evidence back with me so people don’t think I’m crazy,”.  I believe that this is respectable evidence that almost all of these people are attention seekers or otherwise people that just want to freak out the locals.

Another question that could pose a problem to the existence of the Loch Ness monster is how could it live so long?  Just think, no creature can live forever, so it would have to reproduce, but that poses another question, how can there be more than one monster of extraordinary size living in the same lake, and very few people can see them?  Also, the sonar scans that you have already attempted haven’t shown any large creatures in the lake, surely one of these creatures should have been out and about trying to find food or something else. I mean, they can’t all be hiding in some random under water cave that is so gigantic that it can hold the entire family of them.

Even more questions that go against its existence is how could it even live in there in the first place?  The lake is cold enough that hardly anything can live in it, so how would it be able to get enough food to support the entire family? As mentioned earlier, there would have to be more than one monster so it could reproduce, because there is more than one then the monster would have to be eating massive amounts of food daily, but has anyone noticed anything unusually disappearing, nope.

This is my opinion that you should not continue the search for the monster of the Loch Ness.  No one has found any proof of its existence, there must be more than one monster in the lake, increasing the chances of someone finding proof, and the living environment in the lake is so harsh that it couldn’t possibly survive.

Sincerely yours,
