No. In the end he will be forgotten about in a few weeks and likely will be back at work earning more money he can spend to go kill another animal and if it isn't him it will likely be someone else.
I'm just searching for answers. What need is in him that is satisfied by killing a lion?
Also, I was trying to point out that the deaths of cows and pigs and animals that are eaten at least serve a purpose and society is, in theory, better off because of them. The death of this lion does nothing for society other than temporarily fill whatever hole in in that guy's soul.

About the need. Haven't you heard about hunting? It is a need for predators, like for lion or Homo sapiens.
About the purpose: whether you look it as a way to get food/ raw materials it serves a purpose and if you look it as a hobby/ leisure it serves a purpose as does any hobby/ leisure.
