Once you get this license, you will be able to create various animal traps. They will be needed for the actual capture of animals or birds, depending on the trap. Next, you will need an Animal Collection Point, this will allow you to send the captured animal to the Animal Research Center. The Center will then reward you for your efforts in exchange for in-game currency. Here’s how you can get a license and start creating structures.
