I think it's a matter of applying human emotions to animals. I certainly don't condone cruelty to any animal, but I'm guessing the whale doesn't have any opinion about its captivity. How about cattle at the feed-lot, or pigs, lambs, or bunnies in cages?
As indicated, all are fed, and treated for illness, etc. To think they actually are crying based on a human-llike emotion or otherwise feel sorry for themselves is really a stretch. It's likely that taking a whale that's been in captivity for 10+ years and then releasing it into the wild is probably the most cruel thing you could do. Shark food.
