Sting wants to help save dolphins still being brutally slaughtered in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, but says the best way is by starting a debate, not by forcing foreign opinion.
The British rock star met backstage at a Tokyo concert hall Wednesday with Ric O'Barry, the star of Academy Award-winning documentary "The Cove," which depicts Taiji's dolphin slaughter.
The two have been friends since the Sundance Film Festival two years ago, where "The Cove" had its first major showing.
