You just have to kill all animals on the map then they will respawn. There is a hard limit of animals on the map. If there are only 2-4 left, they will respawn. I don't know anything about despawning.
I gave up keeping animals as they seemed to disappear from the fenced area...not escaped but just disappeared. I have not tested this on the 0.4.0 release so this may be fixed already. Do they just grow old and die?
