The only thing Fling targets is the player or creature you're damaging, so no it wouldn't.

Zarum is right. The "Target" for Fling is any creature or player. So you could sacrifice one of your creatures, and then target any of your other creatures which would then trigger Wild Defiance. So obviously sacrificing a 1/1 token, or something small like that, would make the most sense if you wanted to do something like that.

On a more general note. An object is only the "target" of a spell or ability if it specifically says "target." The exception to this being casting Auras and equip abilities which also target.

For reference. Even if the creature WAS targeted by Fling and it MIGHT trigger Wild Defiance it would not work. You have to sacrifice the creature to put Fling on the stack meaning that by the time that Wild Defiance's ability goes on the stack the creature is already dead.

And no matter how big a creature is, it will always go to the graveyard if you sacrifice it.

I don't believe it does. Fling
reads "sacrifice a creature", so there is no target.
