Because he kept killing them all.
Ivy Ratke
Lennie's tendency to pet things too strongly and accidentally harm them shows that he doesn't know his own strength. George doesn't want Lennie to keep the mouse because he knows Lennie would end up killing it by petting it too roughly. This demonstrates Lennie's lack of awareness and understanding of his actions.
