All elves are in that camp, and within the bounds of LotR I think they're right? It's definitely a setting with objective, and cosmic, Good and Evil.

But also do Orcs have souls? If they do they should have the potential for good inside them. If not, how are they more than animals? Even JRR wasn't sure.

Yes, because each time an elf looks upon an orc, they see a mangled, corrupted version of themselves, with no hope of reversing the corruption.
