Kiwi mistreatment sparks outrage and apology from Miami zoo.

Zoo Miami has ended its "Kiwi Encounter" experience after video footage of a kiwi being handled by visitors and kept awake by artificial lighting sparked outrage in New Zealand, where the species is the national bird. An online petition to "Help save this mistreated kiwi" gathered thousands of signatures, and even drew the attention of the New Zealand government's Department of Conservation. Following the backlash, Zoo Miami released a statement apologizing for the "handling and housing" of the kiwi named Paora and plans to build a special habitat for him that will continue to provide him with the shelter he needs while respecting and supporting his natural instincts.
