What's exactly the bad thing in hunting for sport? Whatever that means in your definition. Let's open up that a bit.
To form some sort of a base line, all animal activists think that animals should be able to fulfill their natural, often specie characterized needs, like chickens should have opportunity to forage, pigs roam in the mud, foxes to make holes, etc. Mostly applies to domesticated animals as wild animals are free to do what they want. It also applies to humans as we don't control just domesticated animals, we also put restrictions on another humans and their behaviour.
If it's not clear enough, humans are predators. Although today it's mostly scavenging, but nevertheless, we are still predators.
"Scavenging is both a carnivorous and a herbivorous feeding behavior in which the scavenger feeds on dead animal and plant material present in its habitat (aka in supermarket)."
