They are, that's a very bad thing in their view. Like Morgoth they despise straight - that is to say normal - people for having what they cannot have and refuse to acquire for themselves, the capacity for natural procreation, which is why they curse said normal people as 'breeders' in one breath and then spend the next plotting to groom the children of said 'breeders', as surely as the original Dark Lord tortured Elves into Orcs not merely because he needed thralls but also to spite Iluvatar.
Those groomed then accordingly work to spread the contagion, as Kiyoshi Kuromiya (who Google honored this past June) did after being raped at age 9 by becoming a huge NAMBLA supporter, just as the Orcs then spread destruction and hatred wherever they go.
But maybe this analogy gives the alphabet soup crowd too much credit. At least Orcs are said to hate their overlord as much as themselves and everything else (they're just too fearful and broken to direct their destructive urges at him), they wouldn't blather about how much they loved losing their virginity to an older rapist at age 14. Can't say the same about the likes of George Takei.
Wouldn't be shocked if they did that to assert dominance & humiliate weaker members of their kind, as often happens in prison and more brutal militaries like the Soviet/Russian one (dedovschina), even if Tolkien would obviously never write about it explicitly. When we do see Orcs close-up in his work, like when Pippin & Merry and then (much later) Frodo are captured by them, they're quite lacking in discipline when they haven't got Saruman/Sauron watching them and prone to lethal infighting among themselves, not unlike a prison gang or a crew of conscripts who hate each other.
That said, funny enough, it is canon that Orcs have females and reproduce 'after the manner of the Children of Iluvatar' per the Silmarillion. Bolg is explicitly said to be the son of Azog, as well, and the very human Dunlendings gave their daughters to Saruman as tribute so that he might crossbreed them with regular Orcs to spawn Half-Orcs who served as elite soldiers in the army of Isengard.

Realistically, orcs should be bu-fu-ing each other.
