Plus if you join their club, for 30 Euros, they give you an extra 10 kilos allowance... both of us did this. It meant we had to take a train from Paris to Dusseldorf, I think 4 hours. We did that, and the LTU one way fare was quite reasonable, I think 300 Euros one way Dusseldorf to Bangkok at the time.
Um, if there is effective competition, of which you took advantage, how is there a "racket" going on?

Have you considered that the other airlines simply may not want to carry animals? They aren't obliged to.
