A Moral Event Horizon is the not turning back point of morality, Kick the Dog is being a prick when you don't need to be. Let's say you are having a really bad day in a series of bad days. You go to visit a friend's house. They leave the room, you see their dog sitting there. Your friend isn't there, no one would catch you, you would suffer not consequence and you are so filled with stress you kick the thing square in the crotch. It cause it pain, but what is it going to do. You did something bad you didn't need to do and can't be caught on. - Kick the Dog moment.

Replay the same scenario but in this one you are so filled with stress you kick it clean through the pane-glass door killing the thing. At that point there is no going back, you have completely snapped it isn't merely a matter of getting caught, to have gone that far something inside you would have broken - Moral Event Horizon.
