As a child, I subscribed to Zoobooks magazine, which featured photos, illustrations and stories about various animals and how they could kill you. Naturally, I loved it.
One of my favorites was the killer whale (real name: Orchid), which despite its menacing sounding name, was not a whale at all, but actually a murderous dolphin.
If I could somehow keep a killer whale at home, I imagine it would be a welcome addition to our little family. I haven't checked on the price of killer whale food lately (they eat mostly live cattle if I recall correctly), but I bet that would start to get expensive. Still, I'm sure ol' Killy would be fun for the whole neighborhood.

Perhaps if he had lived, he would have grown into a killer whale. You never know.
Moral: Strum softly.
