Is salt vegan?!

Is salt vegan?

I was told natural unrefined salt isn't vegan because it contains 2% or more of minerals from dead animals, especially sea salt.
After mining or harvesting, the salt is refined with chemicals to make it clean.
Does this mean salt isn't vegan or is it vegan after all the animal minerals are removed?

Are there vegan salts?

Thanks for the great answers. I will read the links. How about the chemicals used to clean them? Is it better to use unrefined natural salts?
Sorry for my many questions, I'm new to this.

In the UK, salt is washed out of caverns using brine pumps, it is then air dried. Mainly in North Cheshire

Its one of the few natural foods that ISNT messed with ( in the UK anyway ).

Sure it contains dead animals in the form of minerals, but then so does Gas, oil, rock.....

Did you have any impact on that animal dieing 10 million years ago ?

And with sea salt, were animals caged or slaughtered just to get the salt ?

No, so i say you can eat it with a clear conscience as to me its in the same category as a tractor harvesting cabbages actually running over a frog. Shame, but not intentional.
