According to the text, the narrator killed Pluto just because he knew he shouldn't.

Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or a silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not? Have we not a perpetual inclination to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such?
