Animal activists at PETA are poking fun at Aerosmith star Joe Perry's manhood after the guitarist boasted about his love of hunting deer in a recent magazine interview.

The rocker told Outside Living magazine he loves nothing better than stalking his prey through the woods near his holiday home in New Hampshire, but his comments have angered animal lovers.

Perry, who also reveals he's an avid gun collector, said, "I don't shoot anything that I don't eat. Hunters are conservationists and their heads are in the right place... (Hunting) really gives you a great opportunity to keep in touch with reality."

PETA's senior vice-president Lisa Lange fires back, "People who take out their aggressions and frustrations on helpless animals are usually compensating for other shortcomings in their life. We don't know how Joe measures up, but it's interesting that he seems to feel so satisfied when he's handling long phallic-looking weapons." (KL/WN/LR)
