Fourteen sheep were found bound and crammed into a car stopped by police in the Hastings suburb of Flaxmere, New Zealand early today.
Police described the treatment of the sheep as "disgusting and an unnecessary act of cruelty".
Two men, 23 and 16, were arrested and are expected to appear in Hastings District Court today.
Sergeant Eden Sewell said police tried to stop a Mazda four-door saloon in Flaxmere about 3am.
A short pursuit took place and occupants ran from the car when it stopped in a local park.
"Police recovered 14 sheep from the boot and interior," Mr Sewell said.
All had been bound with ropes and crammed into the wheel well and the foot wells of the back seat.
"The sheep were all stolen from local farms and were very distressed. Animal control attended and removed the sheep, two of which have died as a result of the treatment," he said.
The condition of the remaining 12 was not known.

You would think that the Los Angeles Police Department had seen it all before.
But murder suspect Eduardo Ibarra Perez stands out from the rest on their 'Most Wanted List' - quite literally.
His bare-chested mugshot was considered so offensive that the authorities decided to cover his saggy man boobs with a flesh-coloured bar.
The police department's website states Perez had a history of domestic violence and that, during an argument, he threatened to kill his wife.
The suspect then shot his victim in the head.
Why they photographed him naked, however, remains a mystery.
An LAPD spokesman told Mail Online they would provide an explanation at a later date.
His profile lists him as having 'no tatoos or oddities' - and that he was born in 1965, making him a very old 29-year-old indeed - which only adds to his mystique.
The entry ends with a warning that he should not be approached as he is 'considered armed and dangerous'.
Perhaps they should have added a line about those killer moobs.
Kimba the kitten was making herself comfy in the dirty laundry at her home in Australia when her owner switched on the machine, not knowing she was inside.
Thirty minutes later Kimba emerged drenched, bruised and soapy - but alive, not to mention much cleaner.
After a check-over at the vets she was back safe in her basket and, said her owner, "purring like a little motor".
A guy is visiting San Francisco, and walks into a small store in Chinatown.
He notices a small bronze statue of a rat.
He asks the owner "how much", and the owner replies "$50 for the bronze rat, and $1000 for the story behind it."
The guy says, "forget the story", and buys the rat.
As he's walking down the street he notices two live rats following him. As he continues to walk, more rats start following him.
He starts to get a little concerned, and heads for the waterfront. By the time he gets there there are thousands and thousands of rats following him.
He walks up to the end of the pier and throws the bronze rat into the bay, and the rats all follow and leap off of the pier and drown.
The guy rushes back to the store and walks in. The owner says, "Ah!, so your back for the story".
The guys says, "No, I was wondering if you have any bronze politicians"
