Yeah I dunno what you'd do with all of them. Setting them free would not work they would all die horribly. Hmmmm

what if we kept some of the animals to eat and left the rest alone to do whatever, like a compromise of sorts wherein some people could have meat and some animals can go do animal stuff

Stare-Out posted:Uruks weren't from Mordor, they were from Isengard and you know old Saruman hung out in the Prancing Pony in his good days and it most certainly had a menu about which he talked to his orc/goblin hybrids. you know, if we draw the implications of this out further and the quote in particular ("MEAT is back on the menu, Boys!") we can also conclude that not only did the Uruk-Hai know what menus were, and also restaurants, but assuming the Uruk in question was not being facetious or using an idiom, that the Uruks probably had a regular daily menu even when doing field exercises. we can further conclude from the information provided that meat not being a regular part of their menu (at least in the time depicted) that they had a rotating selection that was largely plant-based. it also indicates a level of sophistication within their cultural practices that is probably glossed over by their depiction as relative savages, but we don't really learn much about their culture beyond what we can glean from exchanges like the aforementioned. thus, we can safely assume that the Uruk-hai were vegetarians in a practical regard, and probably had a lower carbon footprint than most of the other races of middle earth. contrast this to the Hobbits, who were notoriously profligate eaters, their various proclivities well documented. I'm assuming the Uruk-hai diet probably consisted largely of dried legumes and grains, suitable for long marches, as well as fresh vegetables that they could forage, and that they at most ate meat opportunistically.

Not sure about the carbon footprint part. Sure they ate less meat, but their primary industry was tossing whole trees into fire pits.

A tree cannot be burnt if it's turned into urukhai. Saruman was just trying to help remove excessive CO² out of the atmosphere,unlike those dastardly numenorians who put it there.

So, some orckxs hate each other, some are friends. What's their down time like? Do we know if any of them have strip clubs? If they have menus, wouldn't they also have other service industries?

as far as we see in the movies even humans, dwarves, and elves don't have menus. If orcs do it'd show a social structure far more advanced than man and if anything more worthy of saving. imo if anyone went into the west it should have been the orcs and they should have been the blessed race not the filthy elves and men with their constant wars and gently caress parties and wizards and poo poo.

Their agriculture and animal husbandry would be very tied to the seasons so no doubt orc restaurants and grocers would often be out of meat. We don't know if they cured meats to preserve them, frankly they don't seem to have the patience for that sort of stuff.

It's said Uruk-Hai were especially fond of eating rear end, but since most were situated in well-guarded towns they had to settle for other hooved creatures instead. Except pigs, of course.
