The APPA and Global Pet Expo do not take responsibility from the constant theft of valuable product and marketing materials stolen at Global Pet Expo.
The onsite contracted security dismisses theft and when confronted the APPA blames YOU (it's membership) for the theft, taking a stand here only further strengthens our organization.
Vendors and members invest a lot of time, money, and effort to show their product at Global Pet Expo. Without the proper protection and vetting of potential buyers theft will continue to happen.
Product is constantly taken from the New Product showcase and at booths, and APPA has no plan in place to protect or take responsibility for theft under $1,000 in damages. Sign this to protect your business, and others in the industry. Recently whole booths were stolen as so called "pre-screened attendees" stole whole booths already sold to clients for cash and carry.
Help safe guard your business and others in the industry and making the APPA a better organization and Global a more fun and profitable event.
Theft is rampid at Globale Pet Expo.
Vendors have reported that their entire booths have been stolen the last day of the show, not to mention the constant product at APPA members booths' and the the New Product Showcase being stolen.
Security is subcontracted out at the show and there is no recourse or responsibility of safety for your product at the Global Pet Expo.
Please take 2 minutes, and sign this petition to show the APPA that STEALING IS NOT OK!
