Why are people obsessed with the idea that sharks have no intention of eating people? And that attacks are 'mistakes'?

I mean, we don't say that about lions, tigers, bears, cougars, etc, that attack and eat people.

But for some reason, people are obsessed with the idea of misidentification (yeah, in one breath you talk about the sophistication of their detection organs, etc and then in the next I get to hear why a shark attacking a person was all the shark's mistake).

So what's the deal? Why can't we live with the idea that there are some predators in the ocean that don't care that we're god's children and will eat us as soon as look at us?
