Inaccurate Unsourced Information

[edit]

The following section has no citations and is written in a manner that is not scholarly, particularly the phrase: "It is unclear of the success of these lawsuits since the Pope and the hippopotamus are not talking." Of course a "hippo" wouldn't talk, and I cannot find any information on this supposed lawsuit against a hippopotamus.

@Pmoyer44 added the following without a source: "In other lawsuits, Bill defended a hippopotamus that escaped from an animal safari attraction [now an outdoor amphitheater] in Irvine California. Bill also sued the Pope over the death of a St. Bernard canine purchased from a catholic monastery in Switzerland. It is unclear of the success of these lawsuits since the Pope and the hippopotamus are not talking. In addition to animal rights [long before its current popularity], Bill Sheffield was a successful criminal defense attorney in Orange county CA, up until his elevation to Superior Court judge in 1983." 216.182.104.218 (talk) 20:22, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
