At this point I call to mind the hoard of Scatha the Dragon, which the dwarves claimed even though it was rightfully that of the man who slew Scatha (whose name I do not recall.) They then proceeded to kill him.

Melkor and Sauron controlled the orcs and used them in their bids to take over Middle-Earth. As such, the orcs were hated by everyone else and were hunted when their lords were defeated. This led to a (rather reasonable) hatred of the Free Peoples, which is why they tried to take over ME.
