11:30 AM PT -- A rep for PETA tells TMZ ... "Anyone who encourages dogs to rip apart other animals should be in jail for cruelty to animals, not on a stage.

She says ... "There was someone who said to me -- and it kind of jarred me a little -- it was when I was in my early 30s, and they basically said, ‘It’s done, it’s passed. You can’t, you’re too old.’ And you know, for me, it wasn’t just about being a performer, it was about wanting to write music."
