Additonally, it's 15 plat or 30-40k to open these new pet chests, and Barney dropping lowers your chance to get one of the other more useful new owl pets because it's in the loot table. Are you sure you want some janky noob owl lowering your chance at one of those?

I know I don't, and I'm fairly certain that anyone spending plat or gold would agree.
Shade is an OP pet - so I think Barney should remain so that Shade isn't extremely populated. Just my opinion though!
