Rationale

Petting Zookeeper is banned in the Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper formats alongside all other cards that generate stickers or Attractions. The ban is a sweeping action enacted because the presence of these types of cards was determined to create an unideal or non-functional dynamic within the competitive play experience, negatively impacting the health and fun of the format.
