According to the IUCN Red list, as of June 2017, Killer whales do not meet any of their criteria for a threatened status.

Killer whales, or Orcas, are in no way going extinct. they are the top predator of the ocean and abound in all regions of it. The larger groups, or Pods, typically reside in the colder regions of the ocean around the Arctic and Antarctic areas but migrate to warmer waters every year. Orcas are not even considered an endangered species but are still protected under the Marine Mammal act.

Another opinion:

The killer whale will become extinct if we continue to be the horrible managers of this planet that we have been so far.

What is the killer whales endangered status?

Killer whales, also known as orcas, are not officially endangered. There are a great many threats to the killer whale, and some local populations are definitely endangered or threatened, but as a species, they are classified as "data deficient". This means there are different species of killer whales, and some of them may well be in need of protection. For example, in late 2005, the Southern Resident Killer Whales, which are a group of populations in the eastern North Pacific Ocean, were placed on the US Endangered species list.
