Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The 2015 World Champion Bucking Bull Long John in his prime
Author or copyright owner	Andy Watson, BullStockMedia.com
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Professional Bull Riders and American Bucking Bull magazine Immediate source: http://www.pbr.com/en/news/features/other-features/2017/2/2015-world-champion-bull-sweetpro%E2%80%99s-long-john-passes-away.aspx
Date of publication	February 2, 2015
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Long John (bull)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the animal in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Animal deceased since February 2017, a diligent search has found no free images to be available. Animal was a world champion bull worth six figures, so close up access was no easy feat. The only possible access was by attending PRCA or PBR events which needed travel and the luck that the animal might be available in a pen for showing.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This file will only be used once in Long John's article in his infobox for identification.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Low resolution, will not interfere with commercial opportunities of copyright owner. I shrunk the original size of 648 x 365 down before uploading. I shrunk it down to 400 x 266. Now another editor has come in thinking it needs to be shrunk down even more. I had been told by previous editors that as a general rule that an image at that original size getting it down to 400 x 300 was a good target. Thanks. I see the new version of the file is hardly any smaller than the current one, so what was the point?
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: February 21, 2017 Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual animal: [1], [2], [3], [4] It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality). The photo is only being used for informational purposes. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the animal is the topic of the article.
