Because it's very important this kid's sense of sight is dead on. He's not going to hear shit. And Yondu doesn't want him wandering off when he knows there are demons pretending to be animals. For one, even if he's a mean lil cuss whose sayin' some demon can't get damage in. For another, there are actual animals. He doesn't want Yoite attacking some little kid's critter if he can't tell the difference. He's smart, but who knows what would happen when someone's senses have gone haywire.
