What I am against is keeping Orca's in tanks. They are way too large, and use too much space when int he wild, to be kept in a tank.
Being an endangered species indicates that the average Joe doesn't have the skills to take care of it properly, IMO. I mean really, how much information is going to be available about taking care of certain animals like that. It isn't like dogs and horses, where they have that shit broken down to a science.

Plus what about offspring? Will they be allowed to breed, assuming there's even a male and a female available? If they can't breed, that isn't good for an endangered species. If on the other hard they do breed, what will happen to the offspring? Will they grow up properly in a non-wild environment?
