I don't think it qualifies as "waste" if it's used.

I personally don't think I'd vie for a chance to eat whale, but if I ate it unknowingly and didn't object to the taste, then I can't say anything. I ate pig's blood once when my friend gave it to me. Had I known it beforehand, I'd have stared at her like she was crazy.

It's easy to look at what other people do in cultures completely different from our own and label it as "wrong" or "immoral." I think it's just one of those sensitive issues. I agree with the previous comments of them keeping it to a minimum and it's fine. They're international waters...just as much their right as anyone else's.
