To arouse public sympathy for slaughterhouse workers.

Explanation:

When he wrote The Jungle, Upton Sinclair wanted to arouse public sympathy for slaughterhouse workers. These workers were often immigrants who earned very little money, worked long hours and faced particularly bad working conditions. However, his work did cause an outrage, but due to the unsanitary conditions that were described in slaughterhouses, and the bad quality of the meat being produced there.
