Animal Control Job

An animal control officer job for Los Santos. Players start at the Animal Ark in Sandy Shores, rent a truck on deposit, and go out to trap stray animals living in their real habitats. Coyotes in the desert, cats in the city, boars, dogs and hens all spawn where you would expect to find them.

The loop is bait, capture, crate, deliver. Payouts are configurable, the job cancels itself cleanly if things go wrong, and progress is validated server-side so it holds up on a live server.
