"It's a big galaxy and they can leave."

This. It's implied in the previous season that the Silents are on several planets, harassing several different species at different points in time.

I doubt they were all killed, or even most of them. They have the option of pulling up stakes and going off to find greener pastures, and probably did so.

Can you cite your references, please? I admit that since I have not been impressed with Moff's era that I haven't watched most of the episodes more than twice. So, if it was there, I just want to know.

Just off the top of my head:

We know the Silence killed Rosanna's people. We have a strong hint that they're behind the Alliance which imprisons the Doctor. River and the Doctor identify the technology in the suit as belonging to dozens of species. And that their underground TARDISes stretch across the entire planet.

Shooting twelve of them hardly seems like genocide when they clearly have an intergalactic empire.
