Because they're animals and many owners, if not most, do a real shit job at properly training their pet animal and ensuring the have the right enrichment, exercise, etc.

Also, many (first-time) owners get a breed or animal that they are woefully inexperienced for or do not have nearly the right territory for. Too many owners get a pet because of the look/known demeanor (guard dog) and then do nothing with it and the dog is stressed, depressed and it causes them to act out, sometimes by attacking.

So it is a lot more logical (and easier really) to blame the owner.

While there are cases where an otherwise well adjusted animal has attacked without warning/any notable stressor or reasoning, it is rare.
