You're looking at two members of a race of 'cannibals', except it's technically speaking not cannibalism, because eating humans isn't consuming the flesh of members of the same species. :')
Elevated humanitarian ideals mean nothing in a brutal 'Medieval' period where you're fighting for your life against a race that can out breed you and is hellbent on your destruction.
Tolkien orcs don't even "breed" they're manufactured in vats, they're basically organic battle droids.
Really, though? Thought both Orcs and Goblins could breed.
They can and not just with one another, Morgoth was able to breed especially degenerate Men with his orcs to produce half-orcs/'goblin-men' in the First Age and Saruman did it again (using Dunlendings for the human half) in the Third Age. They served as elite troops & spies, IIRC one reported on the Hobbits' movements at Bree.
