if you don't want insurance why should you have to pay a fine ?

I don't think you should have to, but that's beside the point.

If the law imposes a fine, then you pay the fine. If you refuse to pay the fine, you can expect to pay the consequences and those consequences are no one's fault but your own. If your dogs die because you acted like a jerk with no regard for their well being and/or you end up in jail, that's your choice.

It's he same as when some young man is stopped for "driving while black." If he doesn't remain composed and behave deferentially, no matter how wrong it is that he was stopped, he could end up suffering terrible consequences including death. It's his choice. When a cop stops you, you hand him your driver's license and registration, sit still, and shut up or suffer the consequences. Likewise, when the government fines you for not having health insurance, no matter how wrong that may be, you pay it or suffer the consequences. The consequences are on you.
