We calculate asymmetric neutrino absorption and scattering cross sections on hot and dense magnetized neutron star matter, including hyperons in fully relativistic mean-field theory. The absorption/scattering cross sections are suppressed/enhanced incoherently in the direction of the magnetic field B=Bz-circumflex. The asymmetry is 2-4% at the matter density {rho}{sub 0{<=}{rho}B{<=}}3{rho}{sub 0} and temperature T{<=}40 MeV for B=2x10{sup 17} G. This asymmetry is comparable to the effects owing to parity violation or asymmetric magnetic field topology proposed for the origin of pulsar kicks.
