There's no 'sport' for wildlife in one-sided competition

As the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi approach, physically superior performances come to mind in anticipation of athletic excellence rewarded with gold, silver and bronze medals.
The definition of “sport,” according to Wikipedia, is a fair competition in games that involve two or more participants, which is governed by standards, rules and customs to determine a winner.
Hunting is clearly a game to hunters, but it should never be called a “sport,” when gun-packing humans track, find or simply wait for defenseless prey to come along, then shoot it with bullets or arrows, not giving it an even-handed chance to win the game.
Some hunters say the prey’s odds of escaping are its chance at defense and survival, but that contention wouldn’t hold up if arbitrated under the fair rules of any sporting game.
