A statement from North Wales Police says: "On Wednesday March 2, seven sheep's carcasses were thrown in a ditch on the top road bet Waunfawr and Rhosgadfan.
"Any information please message us on the Community alert system or NWP website.
"The attachment is grotesque as you might add is the individual who threw them into a clean water ditch instead of disposing of them in the correct manner. Enquiries are continuing to trace those responsible."
