That's quite true. I forgot that many of the orc-killing-orc cases are of quarrels between communities or divisions. But what a killing they do! One survivor from Cirith Ungol, from two companies! You don't need Aragorn to kill them, just give them permission to slaughter each other.

But at a certain point, I still think that no one would bother even with their mates. If the wounded orc is wounded heaviy enough, I doubt they would set up a Houses of Healing and fight tooth and nail for his life. Less drastic injuries they would heal, but when the prognosis is death, I doubt they would bother much.
