MPs were due to join a demonstration against fox hunting in the town centre today.
David Crausby and Brian Iddon were supporting calls for a total ban on hunting wild animals with dogs at a rally in Victoria Square.
They will be drumming up support from people in the town with a petition. The Banner for a Ban campaign was launched earlier this year to show the huge public support for the ban on hunting.
Jeanne Young, of the Lancashire League Against Cruel Sports, said: "We are delighted to have the full support of Bolton MPs to finally have bloodsports banned."
"Their support shows that MPs are determined to hold Tony Blair to his promise to ban bloodsports."
