Hello,
does the person who make the starting strength program need to do stretching exercises in the end of the workout? or he just needs to do the 3 lifts and leave the gym?

It's a personal preference.
1) You could do a warm-up (advised), then starting strength, then stretch, then cold-down.
2)Or you could only do starting strength.
I'd pick 1).
Although stretching is not necessary, it sometimes is beneficial.If your body cannot handle it, make sure sheer willpower will.....

RIPptoe never said anything about stretching, or it's not that reveled, but in Hellraiser training they say it should be done.
I do then there stretches even in between exercises (especially on shoulders).....as sometimes the burn is so ****ing unbearable, that I need to stretch it out.
You choose your game plan....
I don't know what you are looking for.....try it, maybe it works for you, maybe not, you will never know if you do not try it.If your body cannot handle it, make sure sheer willpower will.....

Generally speaking, it is recommended to both warmup and cooldown. I warmup on a treadmill to loosen up my body as well as my knees for squatting. For the cooldown, I figure I might as well do something useful and stretch. It's probably a little healthier to have some sort of cooldown anyway. Going from an intense workout with an extremely accelerated heart rate to near resting state heart rate isn't good for your heart. The cooldown period helps ease your heart rate safely. Personally, I would just do a quick 10 min stretch of the major body parts and bail out.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
