Escambia Man Gets Six Years For Beating Small Dog
March 27, 2023
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to six years in prison for beating a small dog.
Andrew Vetters was sentenced to aggravated animal cruelty and trespassing after previously pleading no contest.
According to investigators, Vetters entered his roommate’s private bedroom without her permission and abused her dog.
“This abuse was captured on a camera and the disturbing footage depicted the defendant as he violently beat the small dog on several occasions,” the State Attorney’s Office said.
Once released from prison, Vetters will be on probation for four years.

Everybody saying its to much time for this never watch John Wick!
He is obvious a psychopath. No empathy for the pain and suffering of others. Psychopaths that start by abusing and hurting animals, then escalate to murdering people. He is off the streets for now, but still, six years us not enough.
So happy the poor dog got some justice.
I agree with Anne. We turn out violent offenders, thieves of every stripe, Elder Abusers and other dangerous person. I think this animal abuser needs help as well as jail but whatabout these others? Almost every violent crime is commited by someone with a felony record who did not serve his full sentence or is out on do-gooder release. I prefer my taxes to go for prisons and not so much for parks and playgrounds. (here it comes..the critics who want to play and not to pay). How many of you working people, the producers have time for playgrounds and parks?
It just breaks my heart to know that there are people in this world that find enjoyment out of mistreating, abusing, beating, starving or killing innocent animals. A dog is suppose to be man’s best friend. To hear and read about this girls poor little dog getting beat by the hands of this monster makes me sick. I have to ask God for forgiveness for the things I hope this guy gets in prison because like every story starts off after a person kills another human for no reason, it starts when the person is young and they start off by abusing and killing animals which leads up to them abusing and killing humans. I just pray to God that this poor little dog survived the trauma it went through and lives the rest of it’s days in nothing by love and happiness.
Cameras seem to make a difference in who gets what. Actual video of his continual actions seems to have made a difference. I hope they feel the same way about little defenseless animals as they do about the child abusers when they get to prison so his stay won’t be too enjoyable. .
Yeah Mike 6 years for a dog. Not long enough. The fact you seemed shocked as if he got too much time is disturbing to me.
He beats little animals? Too bad, he will never be considered father material. Ladies, remember his name.
And who is the animal in this sad story. CERTAINLY NOT THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Future serial killer, perfecting his craft
And he needs to be beaten every day for six years!!!
Here is an example of justice- or rather NONJUSTICE
Christopher Whitaker just got 10 yrs probation for sexually abusing an underage girl for more than 7 years!! And this guy gets 6 years prison for the dog. I do love animals as well but the child predator is out. It just doesn’t make sense to me??
Wow, 6 years for a dog?
Hope someone beats him in prison daily!!!
Anyone who will abuse an innocent animal has major anger issues and is capable of abusing/killing a human, and it states he did this on several occasions.
Don’t get me wrong but 6 years for whipping a dog the laws are screwed up he could have jumped in her and got probation are just fines and court cost
Chances are if someone can beat an animal it’s not a far stretch he could also beat an infant/child. Helpless animals and children that are abused should put a person in prison for life.
Good job by the prosecutor . Thanks
He should spend some time in jail for his crime. I think asking the American tax payer to house him for six years at a cost of 46,000 a year over a dog just doesn’t make good sense. And I love dogs you hear!
Unbelievable! He could have beat his mom, wife or kids and only got probation.
No animal should be abused.
However, kinda odd that this man is getting 6 years in prison when we have SO Many Others who deal drugs, assault Humans, beat spouses/others, have countless DUI convictions, robberies…etc, etc. etc. and are On the Streets and Keep Abusing People without fear of imprisonment….What is going on?
Good. It’s about time something is done to animal abusers.
