If a bitch (referring to a female dog, of course) has too many puppies she is unable to feed all of them, only the biggest puppies are likely to survive and the smaller weaker puppies will starve to death, drowning a few of the puppies is more humane than allowing them to starve to death slowly.

I'm not sure where you heard that information, but there is no record of Slim drowning his four pups. Slim is a character in John Steinbeck's novella "Of Mice and Men," and he is portrayed as a compassionate and empathetic ranch worker.

Why does slim choose to drown particular puppies?
The supposed reason is because Slim's dog, Lulu could'nt possibly feed all of the pups, so Slim decided to drown the smallest of the pups, keeping the big healthiest ones to live. This action shows symbolism of one of Steinbeck's reoccuring themes, which is basically states that there is no room or tolerance for the weak and useless, especially in an environment of unlimited resources. This theme is somewhat of a cruel reality to the main characters, realizing that the ranch doesn't consider the welfare of its weaker members, but it also stands as one in which those who hold power wield it irresponsibly.
