but on an emotional reaction to the dentist's enjoyment, so therefore the outrage is irrational
Is it really irrational? It seems completely rational to me to be outraged by someone who enjoys killing beautiful animals for fun. Taking enjoyment in killing anything seems psychopathic: the difference in Oliver's examples of animal husbandry and animal experimentation is that the killing isn't accompanied by joy.
Doping in the pro peloton seems an odd comparison as while it may be sneaky and unwholesome generally nobody gets killed.
