No.
The only possible incentive I see for keeping the animal laws is scientific research. Of course, repealing such laws would make scientific reacher quicker: medical companies would release scientists to run abound trying to catch these creatures before they were killed off so they could conduct their studies. If this didn't happen, it never would, making it a moot point.
Plus, most land owned by hunting groups or individuals would not be hunted on 24/7. Hunters, believe it or not, do care about nature's other creatures; if the land were owned by individuals, only they could hunt on it, and if the land were owned by groups, some sort of consensus about when, how, and what to hunt would be reached.
If if they didn't, it would just make industrialization of the entire planet that much faster. *insert evil capatilist laugh*
Then again, I don't hold some kind of illusion that the repealing of these laws would help protect the animals.
