What We've Found: Live-pigeon shoot, gun group opposes health-care reform, climate change causes African conflicts, Italian workers love their lunch breaks and Philly health-care employees work during theirs
Julia Harte with your morning fix.
Bucks County residents were outraged after the Philadelphia Gun Club held a live-pigeon shoot in Bensalem, seven months after the group's president promised police not to use live birds as target practice anymore.
Gun Owners of America wrote to senators, urging them to vote against the proposed health-care overhaul bill because it does not contain an article explicitly prohibiting Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius from "decreeing that 'no guns' is somehow healthier."
Armed conflict in Africa is about 50 percent more likely in warm years, researchers reported, indicating that poor crop yields resulting from climate change are the main causes of war across the continent.
Italian unions, nutritionists and food producers were indignant over a cabinet minister's proposal to eliminate lunch breaks from the working day. The minister argued that his measure would reduce obesity and work-shirking.
Class-action lawsuits were filed against seven Philadelphia-area health-care networks who allegedly failed to compensate employees who worked during their half-hour lunch breaks, even though employers sometimes knew and encouraged the employees to do so.
