Question

I am really curious as to wether orcs ever even had a chance to die of old age. There was constant fighting, killing of each other, and cannibalism in the orc society. Most orcs probably were killed either by the enemies of Sauron or the orcs themselves. Plus i could just imagine the diseases they could get just from their lifestyle. It isn't like they cared about each other or tended to wounds. Whoever was too weak to carry on his duty was slaughtered.

Just my thoughts. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
