opinions on George shooting Lennie

In my opinion it was a good idea for George to shoot his friend Lennie. I think it was a good idea because George was responsible for taking care of lennie so he decided to shoot lennie instead of some stranger. george told his lennies aunt clara that he was going to take care of lennie so he decidee to put lennie away quickly and peacefullly instead of having lennie get lynched or getting shot in the guts. for example in the text george tells lennie "everybody gonna be nice to you aint gonna be no more trouble. nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from "em".
