This is a natural, logical respnse, and I don't think anyone would say "Why are you so horrofied? That was hilarious!" unelss they were crazy.
I agree that most people would react as stated, but that doesn't mean that they have arrived at that emotion logically. If logic was truely involved in the generation of emotion, you would expect everyone to come to the same emotional result, this does not seem to be the case as even with the emotion of horror, different people will exibit different levels.
It has also been shown that many animals who have no reasoning abilities (by our current understanding) exibit emotional responses to various situations.

read "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are
fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely
