To protest for their ancestors. St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and tried to drive the Pagans and their way of life out. Just like many other places.....

Yes, at certain times of the year green cows are available in order to celebrate St. Patricks's day. There are some on the market right now, the are called the "Kelly Green Cow." Apart from the game Farmville though, in real life cows are NOT green. They are anything but green, purple, vibrant yellow, true blue and pink.
people call them green dinos because they are green
They can be green, but not born green. Some people have used some sort of dye.
Some are green with envy.
St. Patricks day.
Well, at least where I am, we wear some sort of green (and whoever doesn't gets pinched.) It's not a holiday when it's a day off of school or work. But the younger children play St. Patrick's Day games at their school, and their parents might dye some food green, like green milk in their cereal.
No. You don't have gold if it is green. Instead you have some base metal with a gold fill or coloring on top to make it look gold.
You may wear any color you wish on St. Patrick's but the customary color would be green. There are still some people who believe that to wear yellow or orange (particularity the latter) on St. Patrick's Day is an insult to all Irish people, but that view is dying out with each succeeding generation. It had to do with William of Orange being though of as a villain by all Irish people.
Extra amounts of food freed some people to work as artisans instead of farmers.
