Actually, the amount of time it took for Draco's injury to heal had 
nothing to do with Buckbeak getting destroyed.  IIRC, the WW law was, 
a hippogriff attacks a human, that hippogriff is put down.  Just by 
being injured (which Draco legitimately was, as evidenced by the 
copious amount of blood) Buckbeak's life was forfeit.  Which was 
Hagrid's fault in the end.  If he knew the law (and by taking 
responsiblity for so many hippogriffs, he *should* have) Hagrid 
should have exercised some care regarding the sort of environments he 
thrust his hippogriffs into.

But Hagrid, while claiming to love animals, strikes me as the sort 
of "animal lover" who crams 50 cats into one room, and as animal 
control comes to take the half-starved, flea crawling, miserable 
creatures away, cries to the news cameras about the evil people 
stealing their "babies".  IOWs, Hagrid pleases himself without a 
thought about his animals.  Which is why he tries to raise a dragon 
in a small cottage, an acromantula in a closet, and sets a herd of 
hippogriffs loose amongst children.  Oh, and lets not forget 
his "experimental" breeding.

It was Buckbeak's bad luck to wind up in Hagrid's care.  He's just 
lucky he got away before Hagrid could put him to mounting a thestral.
