Thats just the movies (mud pits). First Orcs were corrupted elves that then proceeded to breed like everything else.
I thought the mud pits were them EXCAVATING Uruks (the corrupted elves) imprisoned within the earth. There was that whole one-sided dialogue with Saruman feeding that Uruk's thirst for vengeance.
Nah, that was just how Jackson decided to portray Saruman's creation of the Uruk-hais. As I recall, they were actually just a crossbred race of orks imbued with some of his power.
Wow, I was really off the mark with what I said. I'm just getting back from seeing the extended edition at my local theater, and I must've misremembered what Saruman was saying- it was the Orcs that were corrupted elves, and the Uruk-hai were not imprisoned in the earth, those mudpits really were breeding vats or something, Gandalf was recounting "crossbreeding Orcs and Goblins" to create Sauron's army of Uruk-hai.
