Answer :
This question is based on the short story 'Mrs. Packletide's Tiger' by Saki.
The author adopts a satirical tone in the given line '....that she felt that she would leave India safer and more wholesome than she had found it, with one fraction less of wild beast per million inhabitants.' to say that Mrs. Packletide had no interest in hunting animals for sport.
The only reason Mrs. Packletide was interested in killing a tiger was to outshine her social rival, Miss Loona Bimberton, who had recently flown in an airplane with an Algerian pilot.
