Because of Lennie's mental disabilities, he is very childish, and loves to stroke soft things. He therefore loves rabbits, and his and George's dream of the future involves caring for them. However, also because of his disabilities, he does not recognise a need to be gentle with animals, and often ends up killing them, therefore making it impossible for him to really have any. The mention of this is foreshadowing of later events in the book.
