Giving candy to a baby, and stealing it back after barely 2 months

[Azuross]

As you all know we got some cool random gifts for christmas from warmane. Some of us were fortunate enough to get the ethereal soul trader vendor pet: http://wotlk.openwow.com/npc=27914

My question is, why did it get removed all of a sudden? This non-combat pet too OP`d?

It was mistakenly added to the gift item pool, those who managed to get it (around 10) had it removed.
