Jungle
Sinclair's meatpacking exposé
A jungle is dense tropical vegetation, or a region covered by it—tangled trees, vines, and undergrowth that resist human passage.
By extension, jungle describes any environment of fierce competition or confusion: It's a jungle out there, the corporate jungle, the urban jungle.
Jungle law or law of the jungle means survival of the strongest.
