I thought the same thing HC. They were bound by it and the rings that they wore. I suppose that their rings could've kept them kicking for a while, but then again the power from their rings came from the one ring anyways. At any rate, I think that there is really no question as to whether or not the orcs were sought out and hunted down after the third age, but rather a question of the success of the hunt.
And as for genocide... people don't care about it today, and I doubt that they would've then.
