The orca would rip you to bits before eating you.

Actually, the last documented orca attack in the wild was in the 1800s. The orca bit the human once and spit the guy out. Didn't even sever the arm that got bitten. Orcas as a species will eat anything in the water, including the occasional polar bear, except us. Individual Orcas have very narrow diets depending on the pod. Their eating habits are fascinating if you look into them.

Now if the orca was put into a fishbowl, and forced to do tricks while in solitary confinement? Well PTSD is a motherfucker.
