Although this may be true, Lennie was becoming a danger to himself and anyone around him, if he continued living then he would just keep on killing until, eventually, he would kill himself.

The selfless, painful decision george made was unfortunately the right one. This is displayed through many pieces of evidence (majority of which is just action made out of temptation) found in John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men. This story takes place on a secluded ranch in Soledad California in the midst of the Great Depression, where many people were forced to live isolated lives while chasing low paying jobs throughout the country.

And the evidence is clearly there, the pet mice that he killed, the poor puppy that he accidently hit to hard, and especially Curley’s wife.

George tried to help him at all times as far as he could, but still Lennie was still in serious trouble, that 's precisely the reason why George wanted to prevent Lennie suffering in the future because he realized that he could not live alone.
Lennie was unfortunately killed when he could have possibly lived a better life if George gave him the chance. Lennie should not have been killed because he could have potentially been a valuable asset, a good friend to keep company with, and a kind person at heart.
